On the surface, this is Andrew Olson’s story of emigrating from Sweden in 1903, settling in Washington State and British Columbia, and mining precious metals in Alaska. But it is much more than that. It is a story of enduring hardships, all the while holding onto a dream and seeing it realized on a far grander scale than ever imagined. It is a story of risking all that is safe and comfortable and familiar for the chance to do better in a new world. And it is a story of holding firmly to what matters – family bonds, close friends, high ideals. All this, Andrew Olson did. Living in an age when choices were simpler, Andrew is no less an inspiration for us today in our more complex society.

In The Nixons: A Family Portrait, Edward Nixon shares previously unknown incidents to paint a fascinating picture of his older brother, President Richard Nixon.
