In the Right Place at the Right Time: A Biography of Grenold and Dorothy Collins
()
About this ebook
Early Alaska pioneers Dorothy and Grenold Collins managed to create a financial bonanza by engineering their working schedules into the ultimate vacation. And, although they died in the 1990s, their story is not only a good read, but provides an excellent formula for those with similar goals.
In addition, In the Right Place at the Right Time offers an intriguing look at how game-rich wilderness world-wide, can be transformed by encroaching civilizations. The scope of the Collins’ adventures, carefully documented by author Steve Levi, includes Africa and India along with the Pacific Northwest, and details how their early ventures meshed to help the Territory of Alaska become America’s 49th state.
