Back issues of the Humboldt Historian are available in the bookstore or by phone order. Due to the wide variation in shipping and handling costs, issues cannot be purchased online. Please call (707) 445-4342 during open hours to place your order. Bulk discounts are available!

An American Possiblity: Mike, Tell Us the Story About...

An American Possiblity: Mike, Tell Us the Story About...

Sale Price:$12.95 Original Price:$13.56

By Mike Maschmeier. Eurekan Maschmeier weaves a contemplative but very enjoyable tale from a Midwest then Californian childhood to a life of travel and working many trades around the country. These included carnie, truck driver, movie projectionist, vacuum cleaner salesman, pizza seller, getting a fisheries degree at HSU, becoming a game warden, coping with earthquakes and floods, being a Hospice volunteer, a dedicated fisherman and even helping with Spielberg's Jurassic Park.

       Filled with humor, lively anecdotes and philosophical perception, this recounting of a life well led is definitely something to share.
