Charlie was born in 1928 on \"the Old Place\" on the banks of the Ouachita River in Caldwell Parish, Louisiana. The \"Old Place,\" as he always referred to his family home, was only accessible by boat or horse for most of Charlie's life until well into his adult years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharlie was a cowboy foremost, always involved in a round-up, branding, herding, and warding off predators. He was a hunter, a trapper, a farmer, a rough-hand, and spent almost a year of his life in a cast that, after breaking in half numerous times, caused the irate doctor to fit him in a steel one, since he would not \"stay put\". Charlie was a handsome man with lean, chiseled, good looks and an infectious grin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen at the age of 87, Charlie got off his horse long enough to sit and write down the memories of his lifetime, it was with clear recollection. His story has been published just as he wrote it, with no change to his words or expressions and with only minimal punctuation when it was needed for clarity.
