She wasn't a good looker like he had always chose before her, rather she wasn't pretty at all in the face, but rather very plain. And her extreme guilty conscience about having an affair with her husband's best friend, which resulted in a pregnancy and the birth of her middle son, finally caused her to dump her own guilt on someone. Unfortunately he was the unlucky one she chose to bestow her very dark and haunting secret upon. Which burnt his mind to its very core, and left behind scars that could never heal. And years later she wouldn't allow him to see his own son when he was alive, but she did graciously invited him to his son's funeral.

Being the son of a coal mining, bootlegging Father from the mountains of Virginia, he was taught to hunt and fish shortly after learning to walk. His Father secluded him from the rest of the family, and he never really got to know his salt of the earth Mother, which resulted in tragedy and grave sorrow. After reluctantly marrying his little sister's best friend, he returned to Alaska where he was in the Army, and his new daughter was the first baby born after Alaska becoming a state. And he loved her with all of his heart. He wanted to stay in Alaska, and hopefully make his first fortune, but his young wife didn't share those same ambitions with him.

Ya know Harry, I want to stay in this chair until I move into the Governor's mansion. You know, convict lots of people. Get my face on television and in the newspapers. You know how dumb people are. If they see your face on television and in the newspapers, they connect with you. They feel as they know you, so they vote for you. Don't know why they're that dumb, but they are. They're so dumb they don't care who we convict, as long as we convict someone. Whether or not the crime even took place is absolutely immaterial. As long as the news media says it did, then that's it. They have been brainwashed all their lives by their teachers and media.

Behold the horrendous truths and hidden horrors that will surround you when you enter behind those so called walls of justice. And its overwhelmingly corrupt police, prosecutors, judges, courts, attorneys, and politicians. Who together steal your life, liberty, and property.
