"Colorado Kid - A Swedish-American Boy Goes West" just released by Lost Fox Press.

Willis Peterson made his reputation as an Arizona photojournalist, a globe-trotting nature photographer, and a college teacher. Colorado Springs of '30s & `40s comes to life in this new memoir. Peterson focuses not on his success but on the reasons for it-the "ear-twisting" of the two strong-willed Swedish women who raised him and the forced creativity of having to contend with asthma while growing up in Colorado Springs during the Great Depression and World War II.
