As a young boy growing up on the back roads of a farming community in rural Indiana, James and his brothers were taught many skills that came with farming as well as learning to hunt. His dad taught him how to use a rifle well and even how to listen to the woods and nature around him; because of this youthful experience he earned the "Expert Rifleman" badge in the army. The reader will be amazed and intrigued by the stories told in vivid detail - captured through the eyes of a young soldier while serving with the 77th Infantry Division of the army in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Loaded with photographs as well. A clean and very presentable copy.
