Autorenporträt
Patrick D. Patterson and his wife Susan live on the working cattle ranch in South Texas where Uncle Bob was born and raised. The ranch was homesteaded by Bob's father, AB Leavitt in 1858. Patrick was always fascinated and intrigued about his family's history and their struggle to travel from Germany to Germantown, Texas. Patrick's grandmother passed on to him many colorful stories about the adventurous family.

As a young boy, Patrick found in the attic of the old homestead some buffalo horns and an old Indian peace pipe and said, "Someday, someone ought to write a book about Uncle Bob and his adventures on the cattle drive to Montana." Little did Patrick know that it would be him who would be the one to write his family's account of their adventures.

Patrick was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas. He is also the author of a book about his High School days there, JEFF '68 - It's Our Party ©, is the name of that book.

He is currently writing a sequel to Uncle Bob & The Road to the Devil Saloon. Mr. Leavitt Goes to Washington is the title of that upcoming book. The book is an adventure thriller about young cowboy Robbie Leavitt, taking up the cause of the oppressed Indians in Montana. Some remarkable and unfortunate incidences motivate Robbie to run for and win a seat in the United States Senate, where he becomes a powerful voice for the struggling Indians of Montana. The interaction between the characters will challenge your lifelong beliefs and motivate you to action. You will not remain the same after reading this unusual book.
