Robert “Bob” Henry Markworth, born in Los Angeles, California on August 19th, 1936, the only child of Henry and Madeline Markworth. “Bob” Markworth as he preferred to be called, turned to show business as a vehicle for his passion for travel, capitalizing on his expertise as a champion archer, to create a bow and arrow shooting act which facilitated his night club and TV appearances in 58 different countries.
Bob Markworth's Achievements
His passion for the outdoors, fishing, camping, bowhunting, and trekking, prompted a parallel career as an outdoor writer and member of OWAA, with hundreds of adventures, hunting/conservation and fishing magazine articles to his credit.
Spending the better part of 55 years travelling throughout 80 countries on six continents, this author has mastered five languages and has studied the customs, cultures, religions and political persuasions of countless different nationalities, from primitive Bushmen in Namibia and Dyak indigenous people in Borneo, to the fascinating Inuits in the North American arctic.
His insight into seeking and obtaining inner peace, developing inert powers from within, and communicating with his fellow man, are the results of the documented personal experiences which he anxiously wished to share with his readers.
