Description

Jacob Francis White left home at a young age to pursue an adventure-filled life that included stints on a Great Lakes pirate ship, a driver for the Chicago gangs, and a worker with a traveling carnival troupe. Despite Jake's ability to live life to its fullest, there was one aspect of life that always eluded him: love. About 1950, a minimum security prison camp northwest of Green Bay, Wisconsin, took shape that would come to be known as the Brown County Reforestation Camp and NEW Zoo. "Hobo Jake" tells the fictional story of one of the first inmates of the camp and the love-based promise that keeps his ghostly presence lingering there today.

Author Biography:

Jim Turner is a retired engineer who volunteers at the NEW Zoo several times per month. This is his first work of fiction. Jim relocated to the Green Bay, Wisconsin, area for employment reasons and has learned to love the area he now calls home. There is much history to the region beyond the Green Bay Packers and beauty that is underreported. Jim's goal is to share his appreciation of the region with readers everywhere.
