This is the true and amazingly frank story of a man, born into poverty in North Dakota in 1918, and his family who survived the harsh Dakota winters with often barely enough to eat. Read the harrowing stories of his early years and the rough life his parents and siblings endured. Read of a child who never knew a toy, who almost dies of scarlet fever when he was seven years old, and was disappointed time after time by his father who reneged on promises. Finally in 1934, he's had enough and set out for Idaho. From there, his story is of the diffrent jobs he held and of the hundreds of people he met. In 1954, he built his first shot mining machine and the story continues of his trials and tribulations traveling all over the western part of the United States raking shot from gun clubs. Finally, in 1967, he built and openend hisown gun club in Boise, Idaho. His story ends with the death of his beloved Genevieve in 2003.
