About the Book

Elwood Walker Chambers (1916-2007) recorded his life stories for his friends and family. Compiled together for the first time is his autobiography he wrote prior to his death and his life stories collected over his 91 years.

Elwood was no stranger to change as he saw transportation shift from horse and carriage to automobiles, trains to planes, and men traveling through space. He also faced the reality of wars, serving his country in both World War II and The Korean War. He would often marvel about the inventions that came from war time and how they further were used to help promote peace when war was over.

He tells many stories of the people he had the privilege of knowing. While his contacts were many some personal stories are included about: Harold L. Harriman, Henry Durham, Colonel Blain Anderson, Colonel Harold R. Duffie, Kimble J. Sorenson, Roy Keller and many more.

Several short narratives he wrote about animals and places he loved are included in this work.

His stories now live on in these pages and the people who read them.


About the Author: Elwood Walker Chambers was born September 12, 1916, in Marysville, Idaho as the son of Hugh and Coral (Walker) Chambers. The family shortly moved to Dillon, Montana where he spent his early years. In Dillon, his parents separated and eventually divorced. His mother married Marion Whittle of Marysville, Idaho in 1929. Elwood attended school in Marysville and Ashton, and the family later moved to Idaho Falls. He enlisted in the United States Navy in 1936. Elwood married Barbara Allen of Swan Lake, Idaho, September 7, 1940 in Idaho Falls. They had four children, Harold Lee, Elwood Walker, Jr. (deceased), Lorna (deceased) and Joel Allen. He served during World War II in the Aleutian Islands and in the South Pacific. After the war, he worked a small farm in the Ashton, Idaho area. When farming proved unprofitable, he sold the farm and enlisted in the United States Army again in 1948. Elwood was assigned to operate boats for the Army. He was stationed in the Panama Canal Zone, in Seattle Washington, at Fort Eustis and Fort Story, and in Korea. He ended his military career as an information officer. He retired after 20 years of service with the rank of Chief Warrant Officer. After retiring from military service in 1960, he lived in Idaho Falls and Blackfoot, Idaho; Clearfield and Sunset, Utah; and Portland, Troutdale, and Prineville, Oregon. In 1978 Elwood and Barbara moved from Prineville, Oregon to Shoshone, Idaho. Elwood has been an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for most of his adult years and has served in various callings. Elwood served on the Carey Idaho Stake high council for several years. In addition, he was very involved in family history work. He spent fourteen years compiling the biographies of his parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. He also served for two years as President of John Walker Family Organization. Elwood loved to travel and with his wife he traveled all across the United States, visiting old friends and taking in historical sites along the way. Later in his life, Elwood developed glaucoma which caused him to go nearly blind. He has written nearly a hundred stories about the people he has known, events he has observed, and family situations he has enjoyed.
