Description: This is an autobiography by Richard Allan Burns that details happenings from his birth to his hopelessly schizophrenic mother up through his Native American wife's giving birth to their children. It describes in detail various troubles encountered through his foster-child years growing up in several different households, moving back home, adolescence with its inevitable trials, courtship and wedding, unwanted military service, and early married life. Find out family history, his inner thoughts and hidden emotions, practical problem solving (or lack of it), and relationships with others. Its sometimes funny, sometimes surprising stories fill in some of the gaps that exist in the family history, perhaps most interesting regarding psychological development and as an example of perseverance.
