Rescued Stories: And the People Who Lived Them Volume 1

By Lynn a Jacobson

Along our journey we are sometimes fortunate to encounter fascinating people who live lives we can only dream of. Once told, their stories, however gripping, sadly tend to fade. From his previous books, Jacobson has proven he is a master storyteller, up to the task of rescuing some of the more riveting and humorous tales he has been privileged to witness. From the veteran veterinarian (chief Army mule-buyer) in Alaska changing lives one pet at a time, to the sophomore Harvard banditos hunting tarantulas, to the world-class geographer thought to simultaneously be a German, French, and American spy, and to the MIT professor who accidently turned all the officer aircraft carrier uniforms light green during the H-bomb tests, Jacobson is sure you'll agree these stories were worth rescuing.
