In 1974, I bought my first piece of America for $7,000. I put $700 down and never looked back . I had big plans. Think big, the rest is just a waste of time. There is nothing a man can't do with a trusty dog by his side. This book is a "Look Back": a look back at what happened on an old industrial site up the East Fork of The Wood River, the foundation of the New Sink Float Mill. I was going to clean the mine water and have gardens and a green house, Oh foolish youth, then life happened.
