As the mines close and the towns are threatened with extinction, a tourism economy based on skiing and the magnificent summer beauty takes hold.Gunnsion Grit is the story of the never say die American's that forged this country from the wilderness. This is a story of men and women who never backed down from challenge or adversity. The type of people who made good with what they had and prospered in spite of the hardships that surrounded them. This is the story of the America of simpler times when determination and hard work counted for something.Over 150,000 words long, Gunnsion Grit is a sweeping saga packed with historical accuracy and good old-fashioned story-telling."I'm very excited to bring this out first as an e-book," Dirgo said. "It allows me a control with style and content that is somehow lacking with mainstream publishers. I always loved this type of novel and feel there is a market that is not being served. Some of the large, traditional publishers I spoke with doubt this type of novel can be a best-seller anymore. I think different. I think there are many more like me who would like to learn the history of an area in the context of a sweeping tale."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
