God's WarriorFellow priests called his ministry "just short of a miracle." A superior castigated him as "an adventurer," Apaches and migrant Mexicans claimed him "one of us." To his fellow soldiers he was "a man's man." Of himself he chuckled, "I've been in mischief all my life." He was Father Albert Braun, OFM, in turn mule headed, explosive, or penitent.

Fellow priests called his ministry "just short of a miracle." A superior castigated him as "an adventurer," Apaches and migrant Mexicans claimed him "one of us." To his fellow soldiers he was "a man's man." Of himself he chuckled, "I've been in mischief all my life." He was Father Albert Braun, OFM, in turn mule-headed, explosive, or penitent. Vigorously outspoken, he once charged a group of august bishops to "get off your butts and out among the people." His sense of duty was profound, his humor crusty. He arrived in New Mexico as missionary to the Mescalero Apaches just after Pancho Villa's raid, was a highly decorated chaplain in both World Wars, and after World War II he participated in the top-secret birth of the first hydrogen bomb on a south Pacific atoll. Drawing on archival and military records, letters, memoirs, and interviews, Dorothy Cave chronicles the amazing life of this last of the frontier priests from his birth in the lusty, brawling California of 1889, to his death and burial in 1983 in the church he built for his beloved Mescaleros. This book is at once a biography and a kaleidoscopic history of the tumultuous times in which he lived. From it there emerges the inspiring saga of a man who changed thousands of lives with faith, humor, dedication, and a generous dash of pure hard-headed cussedness. Dorothy Cave spent much of her childhood exploring with her geologist father the isolated villages and mountains of northern New Mexico, a practice she continues today. Although her formal education was at Agnes Scott College and the Universities of Colorado and Wyoming, she feels her true education has come from these remote but rapidly vanishing hamlets and pueblos and from the soil-rooted wisdom of those who live in them. Cave has traveled widely, danced with the Atlanta Ballet, acted, and taught. She is the author of two histories: "Beyond Courage," which won the New Mexico Presswomen's Zia Award, and "Four Trails to Valor," both from Sunstone Press. Her two novels, "Mountains of the Blue Stone" and "Song on a Blue Guitar" were also published by Sunstone Press. Cave served as historical consultant for two documentary films: "Colors of Courage," produced by Scott Henry and E. Anthony Martinez for the University of New Mexico's Center for Regional Studies; and for Aaron Wilson's award-winning "A New Mexico Story," based largely on her "Beyond Courage." She appears in both films as narrator/commentator. "Beyond Courage" also inspired composer Steven Melillo's musical opus of the same title, acclaimed on two continents.Binding Type: Paperback

Easy set up
Style: Dual Dash Cam Without Card
It’s not great quality, but it does the trick for filming any bad drivers that try to con you in an accident and you need evidence. You get what you pay for, but I feel much more at ease driving with this thing recording.

good camera
Style: Dual Dash Cam Without Card
I'm in love with this camera! I've wanted to put one in my car for a long time for my safety, and I absolutely love this one. It's very easy to install, the setup was simple, and the video quality is excellent; everything looks sharp, both during the day and at night. The camera is small, but you can remove the micro SD card and put it in your computer, and everything looks perfect. I feel much calmer and safer driving knowing that everything is being recorded.

Extremely affordable and good quality for price
Style: Dual Dash Cam Without Card
This dashcam might not be the most advanced, but it 100% does the job you need it to. For the price, it's unbeatable. I got into an accident in November 2025 and this dashcam captured the incident clearly, allowing me to be paid out with my claim being 100% ironclad not-at-fault. If you're looking for a good dashcam that doesn't require an app to use or extensive wiring, this is the one you want.

doesn’t come with a bag to store razor after use
This came charged and was easy to use. I love the double sided razor concept, it made it easy to shave upwards and down at once. The speed is amazing getting enough hairs each stroke. It made it easy to get a clean shaven look by simply holding the skin taut. The battery life was well, I used this for half an hour, and it remained speedy and effective. I also did not find that my skin got irritated. It just felt smooth afterwords but irritation wasn’t my biggest concern as I would have applied an aloe gel to soothe the area If i found any irritations. Overall the quality was nice. Although, I will say I was expecting a small bag to be able to set the razor in after shaving since it just came in the packaging.
