5.0 out of 5 stars Farm Boys Dream Comes True, December 17, 2003
By Sean Mitchell (Toronto, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews
This is splendidly written book all the way around. Pakosh did an excellent job bringing a modern, insightful look to the life of a legend in the farming industry. It is easy to read and well organized. It has great original photographs of most models. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, whether in the industry or not.
