Finnis McClure's daughter, Wanda, sat with him, day after day, listening to him tell his life story. She recorded his story on audio tapes and then kept them stored away for some thirty years. Then, one day, she shared the recorded tapes with her nephew, Ronald McClure. Upon seeing historical value, Ronald decided to make a book from them. Finnis' story is shared as he told it to his daughter. Many of the illustrations and pictures came from a scrapbook that Finnis kept while he was in the Navy. This first printing has family pictures in the back.
