and more than twenty best-selling historical novels featuring Richard Bolitho under the pseudonym Alexander Kent.They are called the Glory Boys, by those who regard their exploits with envy or contempt.brbrBob Kearton is one of them.

This was the time when schools were still segregated, the time when sharecropping was popular, the days when whites and blacks-races-weren't treated the same in all respects but worked side by side to get whatever jobs needed doing done.
