In reading Ralph Young's Grizzlies Don't Come Easy, I got interested in his mention of Allen Hasselborg. I found very limited information about him on the net, but did find this one book about him, wondered if any of you had read it? I'll probably get a copy, seems like an interesting read.
"The day I went to work everybody showed up to watch Johnny Luster work. Well, they had a wheelbarrow there, and said I was to push that thing around all day. I looked at it, then turned around and headed for the mountians..."

To name a few other good AK reads.

I like most all of Jim Rearden's books, I think he is still living in Homer.

Yes, that was a very interesting read, times were very different back when that one was written.
