O knihe
Born into a California pioneer family in January 1930, at the
beginning of a decade mired in the Great Depression and ending in
WWII, Bill Street traces his earliest perceptions of the factors that
defined his personality, and launched him towards an
unconventional early life. From childhood through his teens, his
quest for adventure was never curtailed by parental concern,
allowing him to travel to work on farms and ranches in British
Columbia, Wyoming, and Washington, and wrangling horses and
trapping in Alaska. Settling into cattle ranching in Canada, spiced
with a produce business in Mexico, the author recounts his efforts
to avoid a normal "9 to 5" existence until confronted by the
realities of financial and educational demands on a large family that
finally brought about a return to civilization.
