A Life in the Saddle by Brian P Hogan
A Life in the Saddle is an expansion on the account Rev. Davie Hogan left of his own life, which he entitled: Autobiography of David Hogan (1811-1899). The author will quote directly from this work in the following format, as in the following opening passage:
I propose on this the 16th day of February A.D. 1899, in the 88th year of my life, to continue the work of writing a biographic sketch of my life, from a very imperfect, or partially kept diary. I will here state, this work is only intended as a manuscript for the information of my children, grandchildren, and those who in the future may be interested in the history this writing may afford. I have tried to keep as far from self-laudation as possible. I therefore pray that whosoever may consult or read it, if they think they see a spirit of exultation, they will account for it, on other grounds than intention of the writer.
The rest of the text is comprised of quotes from other sources and background information researched and compiled by the author. Davie wrote for an audience with a base of shared experience and knowledge mostly lost to contemporary readers. The author has attempted to fill out Hogan's often terse or detail lacking account with the wealth of information on history, family members, and local color his ancestor neglected to include. By the way, the author, Brian Hogan, is Rev. Hogan's third great grandnephew.

Brian was born and reared in the Los Angeles region, but has since traveled the globe. The Hogans possessed over thirty residences on five continents, ranging from Navajo Country in Arizona to the far-flung steppes of Mongolia. Brian appreciates history and extending his family tree's branches as far as he can. All of the boys in this story were discovered on those long, thick branches. Brian talks all over the world and educates young people how to live and operate in cultures that are extremely different from their own. He is zealous about informing every nation about God's open invitation to join His family.
