Two yellow airplanes in the sky high above an Amish buggy ignited dreams of flying in the little three-year-old. Before he was even ten, Andy Miller was attempting to “slip the bonds of earth and dance in the skies” by making his own wings of cardboard.
Andy began his life as an aviator in the skies of Red Lake, Ontario, a gold-mining town, piloting seaplanes and ski-planes over the Canadian bush, a land of few roads and countless lakes. He transported everything from passengers, trappers’ furs, and mining equipment to a mad prospector who attempted to hijack the plane.
Opportunity moved him and his family to Alberta, and flights took him to the vast, trackless land of the Arctic, a world of frozen seas and snow, of long days and endless nights, where a mistake in navigation was not only a matter of getting lost but could be a matter of life or death.
Andy’s long career in the skies finished in corporate jets based back in the United States, his native country. In these stories, he looks back at the many years in space and on the earth and sees God’s grace guiding his navigation.

From the end of the last Ice Age until the end of the War of 1812, Coshocton and adjacent counties have seen the presence of important events and peoples, mostly Native Americans, but also a few crucial missionaries. Archeological records provide the first 16,000 years of human presence and voluminous writings detail the last 100 years of that period. This book describes the area’s entire glorious history in all possible detail until the frontier moved west after 1814.
Drawing on original sources, where available, and some original research, readers will learn about the Native American residents – who they were, why they came, and what they did - and the area’s eventual settlement by pioneers. The principal settlers were Native Americans in the 18th century with Mohawk, Wyandot, Seneca, Delaware and Shawnee present. The words and deeds of their leaders are given from their own point of view, when possible. Their languages are described and meanings of many of the sea of place names they left are derived.

But it is also 4,000 miles from Leroy and Esther Stoll’s home in Indiana. They won’t get to Alaska in their horse and buggy, and the driver they had planned on was unable to make the trip.
So they pieced together a chain of transportation on land and sea—each leg of the journey using public transportation instead of private vehicles.
And, finally, they were in America’s great frontier of Alaska!
