This is a work of historical fiction and it is a new type of fiction: it is illustrated.

Most of the places, events, and people are real. Much of the dialogue is presumed. The main character is fictional—but he could be real.

This book describes an interesting time and celebrates the people who lived it.

Fascinating, inspirational, educational, and a great read. You will love following Rusty’s adventures.

Most of the photographs and videos in this book are in black and white. That is because they are circa 1940. I have done my best to be faithful to history—to show and describe events and places as they were.
