This is a book of one man's life journey in a time in America when anything was possible. Any person with ambition and drive could do whatever they had set their mind to. It was a time of prosperity, and people were judged on their character, not so much on 'credentials'. Opportunity was everywhere, and most anyone could chase and catch their dreams. Like most journeys, there were obstacles to overcome, and the path was not often an easy one. It still required a certain amount of risk, but the rewards were there if the dream came true. Even back then, careers took several turns for the entrepreneur, and failure was always looking at the participants. The ability to pick one's self up and dust off the damage was expected, and everything that was tried had its challenges.
