Papa's Gold!
By Michael M. Tickenoff

This novel was composed some 6 years back. Its been waiting for the right
time and so that time has begun. A historical adventure running about 500
pages. 



Introduction: Herein I will begin to tell the story of hidden lives and
forgotten times. I Lukian Evonovich, the third living son from my father
Evon Evonivich by way of heart and through many circumstances of life
have been left the task of putting pen to paper and bringing into
remembrance the heritage of our family and its rich existence in a time
that very few ever knew or remembered. I will narrate our story from
memory, letters, diaries  and from my personal writings by which I now
recall those past days high in the grand mountains of southern Russia,
known to all as the Caucasus Mountains. 
 
            It was sometimes said that I was a child of misfortune, for
frailty had been bestowed unto my life at birth with a debility of body.
But with the goodness of common sense I was made fortunate by my
grandfather Evon evonovich who patiently, in my youthful fragility,
taught my hands to skillfully scroll ink across parchment, read and write
in our native tongue of Russian, some in Turkish and a little of English
and Armenian. In his silent patients I was taught to draft illustrations,
design maps an figure numbers, keep records and write family letters and
community petitions. My loving grandfather being of a most practical
character, knew that frailty and weakness were no assets to a soul in a
land where only the most rugged souls might survive, therefore proceeded
to grant unto me the tools in which I might be given a chance to stand
equal among those who would eventually survive all that a nation in
turmoil could bring to bear upon its inhabitants. But I now know that my
grandfather was a very wise man, possessing a pronounced gift of
foresight regarding seasons of change and eras of calamity! 
 
            By all recorded and oral history, my brothers and sisters
were the first generation to taste freedom out of the Russian caldron of
upheaval and live long enough to know a changing world. By fate or by
destiny our souls came to know life away from the oppression of evil
rulers, false religions and higher authorities, while my parents and
relatives were still haunted by their early lives, under a constant
shadow of inherited suppression. This rugged and crude freedom rooted
itself deep into each of us and birthed from us a different perspective
than our fathers, who had grown up under the harsh hand of slavery,
serfdom, the Orthodox church and the oppressive Russian pharaoh. In our
youth my brothers and I were ignorant to some degree of their fears and
pain until we also met their tyrannical enemy face to face, and on many
occasions nearly having our own lives brought to an end. These tales and
records will bare witness to our youthful joys, to our unexpected
struggles with those haunting oppressors and to our adventures with
strong powers and nations in upheaval. 
 
            Our youthful adventures of that early life will always remain
the ark in which we escaped the tragedies of that time and our powerful
heritage became the wall which protected us from forces we were blind to
in our youth. The rugged life style of the mountains established each of
us like winged birds who could swoop down from our heights and survive
the harshest life if it ever came to that. These adventures which I will
tell herein, brought our young lives unto the pentacle of enlightenment
and placed into our hearts the seed of  lasting perceptions which have 
since blossomed into fruitful orchards of understanding about men,
nations and human nature. Therefore, I will begin to remember and recall
the events of our youth and the many lessons of a time of struggle,
immeasurable bonds of family, all sketched across the vivid landscape of
unexpected adventures. Our era of maturity sternly blended into and out
of the times of historical change.
