Bibliography as a source can mean many things; books; magazines and newspapers to name a few. But also impressions gained by symbiosis; a general feeling from many sources just bouncing off each other.

The Huckster Book One came straight out of memory, some so deep it had not surfaced for years. No diaries or notes had been kept, and the war period only lightly touched upon. From first landing in Calais from Dover enroute to Spain and Portugal in the early 1950's, to quartering Europe by car, North, South, East and West along with some air travel, 50000 car miles a year plus 20000 by air was not unusual. A lonely life, for I invariably traveled alone, but full of rich, exciting and sometimes hilarious human encounters. The book was completed in 13 weeks.

The Birth of the Second Book depended largely on standing alone at 4:30 in the morning on the Acropolis in Athens watching the sun rise above the horizon. I was standing on the Hill of Mars from which Paul, Paul of Tarsus, St Paul, addressed a large crowd of scoffers in about AD50. As dawn broke I thought it likely one day I might write about this man and his explosive influence on Christianity. To be the only person on the Acropolis before dawn was an experience granted to few. Nearly all the reference books I needed were in my library but 43 years passed before research and writing began.

The Third book, completed and awaiting publication, took longer, and needed more research. The Subject is the quarter of a million or more Protestant Irish from Ulster who between 1710 and 1785 Upped sticks and emigrated to America. They are not to be confused with the Catholic Irish who survived the horrific potato famine of 1846 - 50 and somehow got to America more dead than alive. The Ulstermen were mainly Scots who had settled in Ulster from about 1610; and through stubbornness, bravery and bloodied mindedness prospered mightily in business, politics and war. From their ranks and their ancestors emerged no fewer than 14 or more presidents of the USA. They were the first Indian Fighters on the Pennsylvanian and Virginian frontiers; and opened the gates to the West.
