About the Book

Coming home from WWII Perry Wilcox thought he could come back and help his folks build a resort on a glacial lake in Northern Wisconsin. Times were good at first but ten years later the Great Depression forced him to live off the land with a new family and no money. "What the Glaciers Gave Me" is an account in Perry's own words of what it was like to start over and make a living off the land, logging, fishing, hunting and trying to farm. Author Fred A Brede has a personal inters in this story because Perry Wilcox was his grandfather. Some of the property Perry owned remains in his family today and is enjoyed by his children and grandchildren. Many of the accounts came from the stories passed down in oral and written form that helped formed the author's childhood.
About the Author: About the Author: Fred A. Brede Mr. Brede is a talented storyteller, author, teacher and speaker who enjoys creating fictional tales from North American history and the Western Frontier. His books have thrilling action, charismatic characters, and a blush of romance that give readers a glimpse into that era. He has written numerous books in the historical genre. He lives with his loving wife in Osceola, Wisconsin and is surrounded by his three adult children and grandchildren. During his youth Mr. Brede hiked the Ice Age Trail, enjoyed hunting and fishing, and worked hard to become an Eagle Scout. His love and respect for nature continues today as Mr. Brede regularly volunteers at the Wisconsin Interstate Park where he greets guests and shares his experiences of the Saint Croix River Valley and Northwestern Wisconsin. Mr. Brede wrote his first book while attending the University of Wisconsin at Green Bay where he earned a BA in Managerial Systems with a Regional Analysis minor which lead him to a career with Wells Fargo in the Business Development Banking division. His career was an economical success, but he never lost his love for writing. He retired from banking in 2005 and has pursued his career as an author with equal tenacity. Mr. Brede's college thesis on the Brazilian Killer Bee was so comprehensive and complete that his professor had it submitted to the Library of Congress in 1976. In reaching out to a wider reading audience and mainstream fiction, Mr. Brede has bravely crossed over into the romantic adventure genre, taking his stories deeper into the hearts and lives of his characters, letting readers see their courage and trials, their hopes and dreams, while continuing to write intriguing stories that touch the heart.
