Before the war, Laszlo Endrody's home was in Hungary. He came to the United States in 1947 and settled in Ohio. Soon after, he joined the army as soon as the Korean War was going on at the time. While in the service, Lazlo studied for his citizenship and became a U.S. citizen. After being discharged, he was a sergeant first class. He shipped out from the West Coast and sailed on tramp ships all over the world. When Lazlo became a captain, he sailed in the Pacific Ocean, Japan, Korea, South China Sea, Philippines, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Singapore, and the Gulf of Siam. He also became a pilot in the Panama Canal. However, he went back to sea, where he worked six months on and six months off. During his six months off, he ranched in Utah raising horses, cattle, and sheep. At sea, there was plenty of free time. When the weather was good, he spent his time writing stories. His stories were mostly written about the Civil War and events that happened after the war had ended. Now in retirement, these stories are being written again and being published. Lazlo has written over 28 books over the years, and he hopes you will enjoy them.
