A Knucklehead
in 1920s Alaska
By Norma
Huss and
Bill Collins
William Collins, at age 88, taped his stories of a young man who had traveled to Alaska during the mid-1920s to earn money for college.

These stories cover three years in his life when a hot-headed teenager learned a few of Alaska's lessons. He would be the first to admit, he had to learn everything the hard way.
To his grandchildren, he was a man of legend. To those who never knew him, this story will bring tales of early days in Alaska and the quest for survival that
men of Bill Collins' generation endured
to survive.
