Never Gving up, no matter what

This book was a very good story. It had everything a snowmobilier would want to read. I'm not one to read alot of books but, after reading this book by Hetteen, I could read alot more from him. He's just a guy who never gave up. period. Thats all anyone needs to know about him.

Never gave up

Hetteen was a man who never gave up threw out this book. He had plenty of hard times that many people would have gave up. Not him, he stuckwith his dream and know lok where he is. It's everythign a snowmobilier could want to read in a book.

Breaking Trail

An excellent account of a true entrepeneuer's struggles to manufacture and market his dream machines. Edgar Hetteen epitomizes the "find a need and fill it" vision that has made America the cream of the crop of the industrial revolution. From the straw chopper to the "bug-o-vac" to the snowmobile the book follows the life of a man who was definitely ahead of his times and his struggle to get the rest of the world to catch up. Great reading for motorheads, snowmobilers and modern entrepenuers. I highly recommend it.

Down to earth real life experience/adventure

This story is about the experiences of Edgar Hetteen and his desire to prevail over the many obstacles confronting him, to reach the vision he had for a new outdoor activity. This story is told in the words of a man who truely experiences life, the joys and frustrations that only life can give if your willing to grap hold and hang on. If you want to be inspired read this book!
