When I left the States to (temporarily) move to Germany, this was a present from one of my wonderful colleagues at Indiana University Bloomington. It lived in my office before I moved to Berlin, in Berlin it lives in my bookcase, catching my eye, bringing me back to Bloomington. It also describes my life […] I bought this book in the summer of 1998, shortly before moving to Bloomington, Indiana. In fact, I ordered it online and had it shipped to Bloomington, only for it to get there before I got there. A friend had to pick it up from the UPS warehouse and keep it for me – […] This book has been mine since when I was born, or thereabout. However, my mother did not leave it in my bedroom: it was always kept in the living room until I was an adult. The book is signed: Very special greetings to Adam from his grandparents friends, Edgar and Ingri Parin d’Aulaire Wikipedia […] I just finished Continental Divide, the above book – I wish I could remember where I first learned about the book.
