The letters, sadly, never survived by the time of the writing of the novel. They were initially recounted via handwritten letters to a lover back home. The stories from Run Through the Jungle are true accounts of what Larry and other members of his Airborne company went through. This is where he received his orders for the 173rd Airborne Brigade to serve in the Republic of South Vietnam – the place that would ultimately provide the inspiration for this captivating book. A couple of years later, after a year of junior college, the author volunteered for airborne training and finished Jump School at Fort Benning, Georgia. He grew up in Elwood and was a member of the class of ’67 of Joliet East High School. Larry Musson, no doubt a hero in the minds of many, was born in Shelbyville, Illinois. A man who found joy in writing at a young age and used said joy to give us a detailed page-turner in Run Through the Jungle. A riveting tale, this book is narrated by an equally compelling man. Run Through the Jungle is a first-hand account of the combat in South Vietnam, as experienced by Larry Musson and other members of the 173rd Airborne Brigade.
