Henry's grandmother was a tyrant. She thought if she couldn't teach Henry to live a decent life, at least she could beat the devil out of him. She was strict, tough and demanding. The boy always knew that his grandmother loved him, but the way she went about showing her love just wasn't the way he wanted to see it. At age sixteen, Henry was given the responsibility of another sixteen year old.

Both of his adversaries are looking for a correct list of names associated with the young lady's father, Senior Menendez. Maria Menendez and Henry Hawkins first run to a mountain castle in the western part of the United States. They don't actually find the castle. The amazing thing is when Henry's grandfather died many years ago, he left that property, where the castle is reported to be located, to Henry with an old Indian named Black Feather as trustee until Henry turns eighteen. Not only does our hero outsmart the EBI and the illegal goods operator, but he frees Senior Menendez and his wife from FBI custody with an amazing and undetectable escape.

His love of nature and dedication to outdoorsmanship helps him to become an outstanding and unusual archer. His power, position and importance grows as he is chosen to move the floundering Wisnook tribe across the vast lands of the New World, often facing extreme weather conditions, violent local Indian tribes and conniving and dangerous French trappers.

During this trip, legend of the White Panther is born when he saves and protects an albino mountain lion cub that will become synonymous with his own character.

The purpose of this book is to inspire thought and bring light into the minds of many. I continue to have such a strong belief for the future and the feeling that we must all pull together to get along with the best conditions possible.No one can do it alone, and no one should want to. We are a huge universe of intelligence working together. I never expect any person to agree with all that is said here, but in getting you to disagree, I have gotten you to reflect upon your own views.While my words and thoughts may have been spoken before, I hope that I can encourage you to strike a bargain with your own thoughts and make an offering of your own.Books are written for many reasons and the one I like to keep foremost in my mind is that I am passing on a few of my thoughts to future generations so that they might. in furn. modify these ideas in their own words to pass on what they think is important. This new ediion contains my reviewed thoughts; rethinking never hurt anyone. As humans. we should not remain static we should grow and learn, and adopt ideas that enable us to change for the better.
