Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from I Recommend
I was born and raised in the small town of Dawson in western Minnesota forty two years ago, and for the first twenty-eight years of my life I went nowhere, save the yearly trip up through central Minnesota to our farm home on Ann Lake. After finishing high school I went to work in the city (minneapolis) where I faithfully held down a job with the Northern States Power Company for eight years. The uneasiness bug hit me, I quit my job and ran for Representative. Needless to say, I was defeated, but the important thing about it was that I was free - free at last from the shackles of an everyday job, and I decided to do something about it.
I immediately went to parts unknown-duluth - and entered State Teachers College, where I worked my way through. While there I inveigled the State Democratic Chairman to appoint me as a page at the National Democratic Convention in Chicago in the summer of 1932. I had no money, but this did not stop me, for I hitchhiked (a natural depression thing to do) to the Windy City.
That started my traveling, and since that time I have been pretty much on the go.
