Kim Amy was in the back yard enjoying the sun, the cool breeze, and his favorite book at the time. He was reading ‘The Amazon Warriors.’ The book held his fascination because it was very descriptive with detailed accounts of the warrior women and their exploits. They were masters of camouflage and guerrilla tactics. Their hair by custom and long tradition kept unshorn and braided tightly. They wore very little clothing, just a woven belt with a cloth drawn between their legs one week of each month as necessary. They painted their bodies in natural colors that made them blend in easily with their surroundings. If one of them stood still, a man could walk right past them without knowing the Amazon was even there.
