David Dobson Davenport's New Book "Footprints: An Autobiography" is an Account of His Remarkable Life, from Childhood in Sumatra to His Successful Wall Street Career
Recent release "Footprints: An Autobiography" from Page Publishing author David Dobson Davenport is a nostalgic reflection on his formative years as the child of an American oil engineer making a career in oil fields in the jungles of Sumatra and the deserts of North Africa. It also examines how United States paved the way for a flourishing Wall Street career and family life.
ST. GEORGE, Utah, June 28, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- David Dobson Davenport, a retired Wall Street stock trader, widowed father of three, grandfather of six, and world traveler, has completed his book "Footprints: An Autobiography": a compelling life story highlighting a globe-trotting childhood and extraordinary experiences in remote areas of the world.
Born in 1948, the son of an international oilman, David Davenport spent his childhood living in a remote jungle encampment on the island of Sumatra. This was a land of man-eating tigers and poisonous snakes. But it was also the site of Southeast Asia's biggest oil discovery ever, one that had, in fact, been the target of Japanese invaders during World War II.
Later, the family would relocate to North Africa, where other major oil discoveries were being made. While living in Libya, David would spend two years shuttling back and forth to school in Austria.
Then, it was on to college in the United States. It was the turbulent 1960s, the time of Vietnam and the American civil rights movement. It was also a time for acting up on college campuses, and David soon found himself on the wrong side of the law.
"Footprints: An Autobiography" details how, with the help of a wonderful wife, he recovered from his mistakes and went on to be a successful stock trader at three different major Wall Street firms. His successful approach to investing is clearly explained to anyone who would care to follow in his "Footprints."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, David Dobson Davenport's book is an impressive and entertaining autobiography depicting an eventful and well-lived life.
Readers who wish to experience this engrossing work can purchase "Footprints: An Autobiography" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
