While attending Lynchburg College, he continued to work at WINA on weekends. Then, for eight years, he was Sports Director and Program Director for WINA. During this period he did football play-by-play for Lane High School, then the record-setting, perennial state champions.
He left WINA Radio in Charlottesville to become the Sports Anchor/Director of WTVR-TV, the CBS affiliate in Richmond, Virginia. During his twelve-year stint at WTVR-TV, he also did football and basketball play-by-play on the radio networks of the University of Richmond, the University of Virginia and/or Virginia Tech University. For five years he covered regional sports for the Raycom and CBS networks and also published a sports weekly, The Rich Haney Report, as well as a syndicated newspaper sports column.
After a divorce, Rich moved to Montgomery, Alabama, when his son Tony received a baseball scholarship at Auburn University. While Tony was at Auburn, Rich was the Sports Director/Anchor of WAKA-TV, the CBS affiliate in Montgomery. It was in the Deep South, essentially alone for the first time, that Rich began researching and writing Historic Novels, which soon became his passion. A recently published Civil War novel entitled CHATTAHOOCHEE encouraged him to move to Laramie, Wyoming, where he writes full-time.
SACAJAWEA: Her True Story is Rich's first non-fiction work but, in Laramie, he has also deeply researched and written two Western Novels -- ROSEBUD and FAWN -- that are currently being represented by a New York agent. His particular interest, symbolized by an extensive personal library that he is quite proud of, is the history of the American West, particularly the Plains Indians.

Even prior to the soon-to-be ubiquitous dollar coin, which debuts in March of 2000, Sacajawea is already the most memorialized female in American history. Yet, controversy still rages as to whether she died in 1812 in South Dakota or in 1884 in Wyoming. And where is she buried? This book answers those questions by validating the Oral or Traditional History of the Shoshones, her own people, and explains why many white historians, including Ken Burns and Steven Ambrose, are wrong when it comes to America's greatest female icon.vizualizați mai puține
