Spirits of Canyon Creek [signed]

Otis Hahn has a rich stash of true stories about his gold mining experiences and has spent the last ten years of his life putting those stories into books. Born in Black Duck, Minnesota, in 1927, Hahn grew up hunting and fishing in the rugged woods and lakes country of Northern Minnesota. As a young man, he worked seasonally in Livengood, Alaska, gold mine for the Alaska Road Commission. He met his wife, Audrey in Alaska. Eventually, they returned to Minnesota to take over the Hahn family farm and reared two sons and two daughters there. In 1981, with his family grown, Hahn followed his dream of mining gold in Alaska, and later in the Yukon. Through his books, Hahn invites readers to battle floodwaters, face bears, and discover gold in the sluice-to share his adventuresome life journey. Otis Hahn teamed up with Minnesota writer Alice Vollmar to write his first book "Pay Dirt" and they continued their successful collaboration on "The Spirits of Canyon Creek."
