Weldon C. Travis

Resident Deputy Sheriff: in Wild and Woolly West Marin 1964 to 1969 ... and then Some ! a Collection of Vivid Vignettes Weldon C. Travis

As a long-time Deputy Sheriff in Marin County, Weldon lived through some very interesting times relevant to law enforcement, participating in fighting the most vicious crimes emananting from the hottest issues of the day.  His many memorable experiences, in and out of uniform, were always in the interests of keeping the peace.

The book's subtitle, ". . . in Wild and Wooly West Marin; a collection of vivid vignettes," says a lot about its contents.  The author's tales brim with a variety of countercultural events, and the many ways that humans succumb to evil and occasionally rise in redemption.  Many revelations are devilishly humorous but all reflect the image of a conscientious man who has, fortunately for Marin County and California society, invested the major part of his life in keeping the sane balance between extremes of behavior found in the Golden State.
