1/2 slamThe Man called Red
I just read Red Sorenson's autobiography. I found it well written and at times hard to put down. He was a long time guide outfitter in northern BC.
Here's the description I copied and pasted.
Horses become part of his livelihood for the next 60 years. Follow a boy who works alongside German prisoners of war. At 15, runs away with the circus. Travel the adventure trail to be a Cowboy in the Chilcotin in the heart of the Caribou. Venture’s to the Peace River Country, to become a Forest Ranger.
Is instrumental, sending a politician to jail. Learn how he and his young wife, with 2 small children face the wilderness to build a homestead into a ranching enterprise, 24 miles back in the mountains from the nearest road. Trades, their ranch for the farthest ranching operation, in Northern British Columbia, on the Alaska Highway.
Has a horse save his life from drowning. Buys a Hunting area, becomes one of the most successful Big Game Outfitter in North America. Bush pilot who walks away from 4 major airplane crashes. Stories, of Hunters adventures in pursuit of Mt. Sheep, Moose, Mt.
Caribou, Mt. Goat, Grizzly and Black Bear.

No NC,, Red's book is written on merit, Annabels books read like they were written upstairs in a hotel over the bar.
