The Thorald homestead was located near the banks of St. Peter's River in the southern portion of Wisconsin Territory. One day this region would become part of the great state of Minnesota; the river would be renamed the Minnesota River; and near the old homestead, a city would rise and identify itself after Chief Mankato of the Mdewakanton Sioux. Pa and the twins worked hard to turn that rich black earth into life and subsistence for his wife and five young'uns. When the unpredictable weather fought his labor and sweat and the land turned against him, survival rose to new heights. And Pa caught the dream of the new land ...It was 1848. Pa followed his dream; he was taking his family to the Promised Land, a land called California ... Pa taught his family that God will not shut a door without opening a window. He said it was God's Way of leading His Children. And during these hard times, Pa added that it was the North wind that made the Vikings.What he didn't tell Laurin, his 17 year-old-daughter, was how small and difficult "getting through" that window might be or how long and strong that North wind might blow ...Laurin, like her father, dreamed big ... ...until tragedy struck! When cholera claimed the lives of her parents and older brothers in the Humboldt Sink, she had to find that window ... set her own sail against that staunch wind ... Only she remained to do it!She had to find a way not just to survive the trek over the Sierra and into California, but to survive and be safe, once they arrived in this untamed land dominated by men, gold, and greed. It wasn't for herself but for her younger brother, age 7, and sister, age 4. They were her responsibility ... their future; their very lives depended upon her. They couldn't go back; there was no "back"!She loved them ... she had to find a way ... Join Laurin as she transforms into Hardluck Lin and becomes a part of the early history of the California Gold Rush.

Most car collectors exhibit a healthy enthusiasm for their favorite hobby, a tendency to dig into their favorite marques, chase parts, swap stories, and generally live the car-guy life. Some, however, step over that fine line between enthusiasm and obsession—and that’s the place from which spring the legendary car-collector stories. In Strange but True Tales of Car Collecting, Keith Martin and the staff of Sport Car Market Magazine recount the wildest car-collecting stories of all time, focusing on tales of the most eccentric and over-the-top collectors and collections. Have you heard of the fellow who squirrelled away dozens of Chevelles, Camaros, and other classic muscle cars in semi trailers? How about the president of Shakespeare fishing rods who in the 1960s sold 30 now-priceless Bugattis for a mere $85,000? The English nobleman who cut up and buried his Ferrari horde in an elaborate insurance scam? Or how about the Duesenberg abandoned in a Manhattan parking garage for decades and uncovered by Tonight Show host Jay Leno? These are just a few of the amazing stories explored in this entertaining book, a must-have title for any car enthusiast. Both car collectors and fans of outrageous classic car, muscle car, and sports car stories will find entertainment in these tales of collectors who’ve gone off the rails.
