Riassunto:

This is another volume of great game warden stories. Bill Callies retired as a Minnesota Conservation Officer in 1980. He wrote these stories about people and events as he lived them during his years as a warden stationed at Waskish, Crosby-Ironton, Orr and Baudette. His adventures related in this volume are similar to those in volume 1 sometimes exciting, sometimes humorous, and always honest. Bill was a tough, fair, hard-working warden who expected everyone to obey the laws, but if they did not, they could expect him to dole out the consequences. William (Bill) Callies was a Game Warden for the State of Minnesota from 1960 to 1980. He became a warden at age 43 and he felt being a warden was the BEST job in the world. There are 62 short stories in the book and the reader will feel transported to an earlier era in Minnesota law enforcement. They all describe the job of a Minnesota Conservation Officer during the twenty years that Bill worked for the State.

Informazioni sull?autore: Bill Callies was born in Fort Dodge, Iowa in 1917 before moving to Minneapolis. He had a successful career in the floor covering business and owned and managed stores before he took the test for Minnesota Game Warden. He moved his wife, Patricia, and their two children from Minneapolis to Waskish to pursue his dream of being a warden. He was a game warden at Waskish, Crosby-Ironton, Orr and Baudette during his career as a warden. Bill moved to International Falls with Patricia after he retired and then to Hibbing when Patricia died in 1993. At the age of 80, he married Dorothy who was a friend of Patricia's and she moved to the USA from England to marry him. He wrote stories of his adventures as a warden after he retired in 1980. His rule to his daughter and son was to not publish them until after he died. He died in 2003. The stories were all hand-printed on legal paper so they had to be typed, pictures were added and the first printing was only to be for friends and family.AUTHOR: deceased
