This is the third book to be written and published but the beginning book of the trilogy ’Tales of the Sheyenne,’ which sequences the lives of four generations of an Indian maiden, Little Feather, who married a Danish fur trapper turned farmer, Hans Olufsen, in the 1850’s. The principals of the stories lived along the Sheyenne River Valley near what is now Kathryn, North Dakota.I grew up on the family farm near Kathryn, North Dakota, homesteaded by my great grandfather. I and my three brothers worked on the farm-the fourth generation to do so; two of them still farm it. After college I moved on to computer programming and worked as a computer auditor for Texaco and later for ABB. I led my group of programmers to develop world-class audit software that essentially audited the company databases, looking for exceptions and errors. These jobs took me to many places in the USA, Europe, South and Central America, and the Middle East. Retired in Houston, I now have time to write, travel, and visit family and grandchildren. My wife, Claudia, and I have taken cruises around much of the world including Asia (2008) and South America and Antarctica (2009). Also, in years past, we have been to the Baltic States, Russia, Greece, the Caribbean, and the countries bordering the Black Sea. 3
