Citi of Books is honored to announce the publication of the book “400 Years Across the Ocean: The Birth of America” by Walter Sawyer. This spectacular book is now available for purchase through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other retail sites.
Walter Sawyer quit high school at the age of sixteen and went to work on the advice of his stepfather. He either works or goes on the street. He found a job at a local hat company, which lasted only a few days when the Pope said, “Women do not have to wear hats to church.”
He entered the US Navy at the age of seventeen. He went to Great Lake, Illinois, before traveling to the Panama Canal and eventually the West Coast to California.
After leaving the Navy with an honorable discharge, he got married and raised three children. Twenty years later, he entered the Massachusetts National Guard and was drafted into the US Army for Saudi Arabia.
While serving in Germany, three years earlier, he got hurt; the injuries recurred while on active duty in Saudi Arabia. He was honorably discharged. He was sent home on a MAC flight to the States. He continued to help for the next year with AmeriCorps, working on a disaster program in seven Mobile Park communities, totaling 12,000 hours of community service.
Walter now enjoys the senior way of life with his seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
“400 Years Across the Ocean: The Birth of America” is a mind-gripping book about history and origin. Squanto, a Native American, was kidnapped and taken to Europe, where he learned English and a new way of life. He returned to America just as the Pilgrims arrived. His village was wiped out by disease, and he befriended the Pilgrims, translating for them and teaching them survival skills.
Squanto’s influence helped foster peace between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag for the next 50 years. He believed in the importance of understanding and unity, urging people to remember their shared humanity despite their differences.
