SEATTLE, July 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Author Duval A. Edwards reminisces about a forgone era in his new memoir, "Short Horn Hobo: Son of the Great Depression" (published by AuthorHouse - http://www.authorhouse.com/).

Though he was born in Louisiana and didn't move to Texas until the age of 16, Edwards says his roots will always be in Texas. "My father, a native Texan and real working cowboy and thus a 'longhorn,' makes me a 'short-horn hobo,'" he writes.

Separated into three parts, this nostalgic story narrates Edwards' life experiences from childhood to his days in the military and as a lawyer and finally his retirement years. From the Great Depression through World War II, Edwards' anecdotes take readers back to 1930s and 1940s America.

In the military, Edwards served in the counter-intelligence corps. His Army career led him to travel throughout the United States and the rest of the world with assignments in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Australia, the Philippines and Japan.

A jack of all trades, Edwards shares memories of his long list of eclectic careers, including soda jerker, amateur boxer, elephant water boy, ditch digger, law office clerk, lawyer, technical writer/editor for Prentice-Hall and many more.

Now a retired attorney, Edwards lives in Seattle with his wife of more than 60 years, Kay, where he devotes his time to writing. They have two children and three grandchildren. In addition to the technical writing he completed for Prentice-Hall, he has written several books. He was co-authoring "Japanese Stories" with native Texan and fellow CIC agent William A. Owens until Owens' death. Edwards is now working on a novel titled "Louisiana Sub Culture."
