He was born in Nassau and has lived jsut outside Toronto since 1950. In the most recent article about him (Dec. 2013) he is described as "a sprightly 83 year old." Looks like he made a name for himself as a songwriter who specialized in writing about island life in the Bahamas.<br /><br />BTW, the book was self-published which once again supports my belief to avoid buying and reading books put out by a vanity press.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-85991951238976865522014-03-19T04:15:23.888-06:002014-03-19T04:15:23.888-06:00Bill, the lesson in history about Sir Harry Oates ...Bill, the lesson in history about Sir Harry Oates might still serve the unsuspecting reader well considering that one wouldn't otherwise go out of one's way and read a nonfictional account of Sir Oates.

On the surface of it it, it seems like a solid context for a book. But 'disjointed' does pull me right out of a story. It's a shame too because it could have been a fascinating story.
