This book researches the origins of an enduring cluster of interrelated North American families first formed in colonial New France in the 17th Century. The narrative tracks the genealogy and history of the families Roberge, Boisvert and Boucher, all prominently found in the author's 11-generation family tree. The investigation delivers circumstantial evidence of mixed ethnogenesis in the formative years of what is now the Canadian province of Quebec. The founding patriarchs most prominently introduced in these pages appear to have been orphans of uncertain origin.

"Heavy Metal" tells the story of an infantry company during the Vietnam War, focusing on a young captain's experiences from late 1967 to April 1968. It highlights the importance of armored vehicles in combat, everyday soldier life, the defense of Lai Khe, a malaria outbreak, and accidents with explosives.
