Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Footprints & Papa’s Legacy is a portion of my life story, a life story that has its ups and downs, the good, the bad,and the ugly as described in a movie I once watched. Footprints & Papa’s Legacy was intended for a multiplex, diversified audience: Western culture of USA and audience of third world country Liberia, West Africa, my birth country.The story begins with a child of famous village parentage: mom, the daughter of the town’s (Sasstown) famous Paramount Chief, regarded almost as a princess, a father taken away from illiterate parents and siblings to Nigeria by an educated uncle, and therefore the father was the only educated member of his family when he returned from Nigeria. He, a Methodist, married the famous chief’s daughter in the Catholic church, a Catholic priest officiating over the wedding. The union produced three children: Joseph, Elkanah, and me. Joseph being the oldest and Elkanah the youngest. There was a fourthchild who did not survive.Our village royalty ended when Papa brought us to Monrovia, the capital city of Liberia to stay. We were now attending school with grandchildren from the USA who settled in Monroviaand named the city Monrovia and claimed Monrovia to be their city. I with my brothers completed high school and tookup careers, nursing for me and accounting for my brothers.Meanwhile, Dad, a well-educated man, now a politician, member of the House of Representatives, wanted more for his children, for his two sons, not for me. Reason given: I was a girl, a female.In the early days, fathers were interested in the development of their sons and not their daughters. Their names lives on forever through their sons; on the other hand, daughters get married and drop their father’s name. The baton was passed to me because my brothers showed no interest to receive it. So when my frustrated father passed it down to me, I grabbed it and ran with it. University education in the US landed me a UNICEF and World Health Organization (WHO) supported job when I returned home: director of the Physician Assistant Program. A call from President William V. S. Tubman who was always interested in protecting his citizens helped me on my one-month stay in the USSR. The gracious welcome given me by Ambassador Peal and his wife Blanch in London onmy way from the USSR is a memorable treasure. The fake diplomat of the Guinea Embassy and what he tried to do to me in Paris is mentioned in Footprints & Papa’s Legacy. Meeting candidate J. F. Kennedy on Berkeley Campus was an exhilarating experience for me. The favors of Shad Tubman, the president’s son, while in Boston is also worth remembering.Has anyone ever invited you to the residence of the ambassador of your country then kicked you out for no reason?Read Footprints& Papa’s Legacy. Then there were the good Boston police officer that picked me up and carried my books. Can I forget the horse thief who was caught in the park putting my six-year-old daughter on his horse to whisk her away? And what about the Kenya student who left me on a San Francisco street, pushed me out of his car, it was 12 midnight.There is more. Read Footprints& Papa’s Legacy.My book includes the naked picture taken of me in my Moscow hotel room. A vision revealed my dad died twice before he physically died, and then there isthe prediction, Liberia’s civil war predicted in detail ten years before it happened.Writing one’s memories into a story for others to read is considered sharing your life with others to read and compare with their own, using your option to reject the bad and/or to embrace the good, hoping to learn from both.

Download or read book Papa s Footprint written by Brandon Roscoe Maggart and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-05-08 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (ATTENTION: "Papa's Footprint" is being withdrawn from sale. Currently, it is being rewritten into three separate books... For the present, the author would prefer the novella, (AVAILABLE NOW)"Dear Kate, Love, Henry," to be read first. The next novel (AVAILABLE in January) is, "Behind These Eyes Such Sweet Madness Lies." The third: "The Trunk in My Attic." (Let's Get Kirk Laid) will be released in late Spring, 2015. "These three books taken from 'Papa's Footprint' are, in series, my fiction/fact/ autobiographical odyssey, beginning with my birth, four million years ago, in what is now called, Ethiopia, in the Horn of Africa. From there, on through Europe to Broadway and Hollywood. All along, pondering the wonders and mysteries of life on this earth. I have been tutored on the marvelous and bewildering mysteries, concerning women, by Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, who, from time to time, resides in the attic behind my eyes. My relationship with God, whom I often refer to as BIG ROOSTER, has been rough, though respectful. I have fathered wonderfully fascinating children... three of which were born in the 1700s... losing one of those, along with my dear wife, in childbirth. Seven others were born in this past century, four of which did follow me into the performing and creative arts. Of the other two, one is an RN, and the other is a "work at home" mom with nursing tendencies. At present, I have five grandchildren who are in process of sorting out their young lives. But, along with this good fortune, came the loss of my daughter, Justine, at the age of twenty-five, in a single car accident on the Merritt Parkway... dealing me a devastating blow. This book is dedicated to Justine. In order to emerge from that unbearable darkness, I, gradually, made steps forward by seeking and experiencing small doses of laughter. This laughter did perform as an opiate and balm, allowing me some much needed respite. Being in the arts, I've found and made friends with equally inquisitive minds, expressing their thoughts on stage, on canvas, in print, in song, and in good conversation. I have been educated and entertained by knowing and sharing with their generous spirits. I confess to having had many loves along the way, but I am happily committed to spending eternity with my dear Kate. Kate and I fell in love, when we were about fifteen years old, in my Aunt Ella and Uncle Gravy's vegetable garden, in Horse Shoe Bend, Tennessee, back in 1845. I ventured west, seeking California's gold, with which I planned to purchase some land along the Cumberland. For various reasons, Kate would not hear from me for forty years, or more. This did not bode well for the keeping of my promise to Kate. I thought I'd found her again in the autumn of 1940, but this turned out to be a mistake. As I grow older, I do take great pleasure in reliving past performances, both on stage, and off, with some very exciting women... (Presently, Vivien Leigh) mostly creative and performing artists. However, most of my activities take place within the confines of the available attic space behind my eyes. But, what a show!!! I revisit these meetings by using a technique, I first came upon, in the desert, on my way to California. I call this "travelling without leaving..". which turns out to be a saving grace at my advancing age. I have written this book to better reveal myself to myself and to my children and grandchildren, and to any and all other interested parties. I've experienced successes and failures... thrills and disappointments... euphoria and tragedy... all making up a personal footprint that I leave behind, as I continue. My footprint leaves poems, letters, fable, humorous paintings, oral histories, family folklore with some added "tater stretching," and many stories about my navigation through an unpredictable terrain called "show business." Some call me Henry... some call me Hank... and some call me Papa. Some call me "Buddy." This is my story. Love,
