Description
“To look inside the life of Edgar Hetteen, as traced in this remarkable autobiography, is to glimpse the transcendent nature of a true visionary.” C. J. Ramsted, publisher, Minnesota Snowmobiling
“Every snowmobiler, whether a history buff will be drawn into this book and the fascinating journey it recalls.” John T. Prusak, editor, Snow Goer
“In writing this book we are left with many people to thank.” Edgar Hetteen and Jay Lemke
His story is one that warms the human spirit, that proves little is impossible for those who believe in themselves. But in the end, finally it is about the enduring faith of a man who never gave up.
Edgar gives details on his trip in Alaska on snowtravelers in 1960. He tells how as a young man he started working for his uncle at the OK machine shop in Roseau, Mn and developed a compamy that turned into Polaris and then another company Arctic Cat. He talked about his love for small airplanes and tells about adventures that he encountered along the way while developing these companies, like the May Cooperation and ASV.
