DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen Meriwether Lewis purchases an enormous Newfoundland dog named Seaman, it's the start of an epic friendship. Crossing the continent with the Corps of Discovery, the dog contends with hostile Tetons, rampaging grizzlies, dwindling rations and Watlala kidnapers. But his toughest adversary is the dark shadow that perches on his Master's shoulders. Rooted in historical fact observed through the eyes-and the nose, ears, jaws, paws and heart-of a grand dog, Seaman's retelling of the bold and perilous journey carries you up the Missouri River and across the Shining Mountains. The canine account sheds new light on the thrill of discovery and the inevitable clash of cultures, on heroism, human foibles, race relations and cuisine (ah, the aroma of buffalo hump, of boudin blanc and beavertail...) Bound for the Western Sea is also a special kind of love story, as Seaman's devotion to his Master illuminates the extraordinary sense of purpose that empowered a gifted but troubled man to battle his inner demons and lead the Corps to the Pacific. Travel with Lewis & Clark, their brotherhood of daring young men, a Shoshone girl with a baby on her back, and the loyal narrator as the explorers head into the uncharted West on an American adventure you'll never forget. Also available is a companion CD of period and original music, performed by Harry Harpoon & friends and also titled Bound for the Western Sea.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Billy Gogan story is a fictional memoir told by an old Army general of his adventures as a young man. Billy Gogan, American, opens with recently orphaned Billy Gogan fleeing Ireland on the eve of the Great Hunger — either because he is the son of a dangerous revolutionary, or because his cousin doesn't trust him around his daughter. Billy befriends a destitute Irish peasant named Máire and her young daughter Fíona, and together they endure a harsh passage to New York, America's greatest city. They get separated as they debark, and Billy searches tirelessly for them in the dangerous Five Points, ground zero in the collision of Americans, ex-slaves, and Irish refugees. Here, Billy completes his education. Already able to declaim Cicero and construe Aristotle, he learns voting fraud from Bill Tweed, the future head of Tammany Hall, and the numbers game from Charlie Backwell, Tammany's top bookie. Finally, Brannagh O’Marran, the beautiful mulatta daughter of the Irish madam of Gotham’s finest brothel, teaches him about love. Billy eventually finds Máire and Fíona, and the three of them plan their future together. But that future is taken in a cruel stroke, and nothing will ever be the same.

He served on the board of the Boy Scouts of Canada and was a member of the Royal Society of Canada and the National Geographic Society.
