☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"The Story of Bishop Walsh" in Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact #9 (1964) tells the compelling true-life journey of a man caught between nations during a turbulent era. Written by Norah Smaridge and illustrated by Joe Sinnott, the story follows Bishop Walsh’s pivotal mission to President Roosevelt, his narrow escape from Japan’s rising military power, and his later role in postwar efforts across China—where he traveled with Cardinal Spellman and Monsignor Fulton Sheen. The cover, by Bob Eismann, captures the gravity of the moment in striking detail.
In 1941, Bishop Walsh is entrusted with a delicate mission: deliver a message from Japan’s foreign minister to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. After a long meeting in Washington, he returns to Tokyo just as the military faction tightens its grip—only to be saved by a safe conduct letter that gets him to China. When war erupts between the U.S. and Japan, American missionaries are imprisoned, but years later, in 1946, Bishop Walsh joins Cardinal Spellman and Monsignor Fulton Sheen on a journey through China, carrying a message of peace in a world still healing.
In the wake of a fiery explosion at the Starr offices, suspicion falls on Judd Salter, who flees town to avoid arrest. Chuck White and two others chase him through the countryside, but when the pair splits off to pursue Judd, Chuck is left alone—only to face a deadly threat as Judd returns, bow drawn, aiming to end him.
