To know him is to love him

I learned so much about the man and his mountain after reading this book. Yes, he was a crabby old man, but underneath that hard exterior was a man with emotions like the rest of us. He loved his wife and his cats and his mountain. Too bad Harry had to be so darn stubborn. If this book ever comes out of print, get your hands on it and read it. If you ever get a chance to visit Mt. St. Helens, do it. Harry Truman was a part of St. Helens. If you have any interest in the mountain, you must read this book. I am so sorry that it is not in print any longer.
