Synopsis

Connel Murray takes the reader on a journey from an Oregon farmstead without electricity or indoor plumbing, through adventures in a POW camp and the Navy, as well as hopping freight trains to explore much of the nation. With wry humor he describes promoting sophisticated San Francisco’s first—and last—bullfight, as well as acquiring baseball games for free and selling them for money. A move to Alaska gave him the chance to interact with moose, and also to pilot a homemade watercraft down 80 miles of wilderness river. He describes the joys and tribulations of growing a family in the 49th state, along with starting and growing a business. Even the minutia of life becomes entertaining when it’s described by Murray, in this revealing memoir.
