John Craig Shaw has a knack for writing stories, some of which are quite funny; others--serious or educational--but always interesting! He writes mostly of personal adventures and happenings, but also of various friends, family, co-workers, saddle tramps, and sailors known during his lifetime. In the last section, Shaw gets philosophical. Read his off-the-wall essays of his thoughts, opinions, and what ifs, written to delight, annoy, or bore the reader. Take it with a grain of salt!
