I Can't Believe I Did It: Stories from Minnesota, North Dakota, Alaska, and All Over the Place (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781492835561)

I Can't Believe I Did It is a collection of humorous and often surprising stories written by Grace Lester about her adventures. She flees from a bear, swims with sharks, sees an atom bomb go off, and witnesses the 1957 F5 tornado that decimates Fargo, North Dakota. With her husband and traveling companion Jack, she drives a fishing boat with a ten-horse motor 1,200 miles down the Mississippi, motorcycles over the precipitous Gold Rush Trail in Alaska, and savors winter in Minnesota-even when the thermometer reads -51 .

A quick and entertaining read, I Can't Believe I Did It provides a wealth of historic detail and offers a warm-hearted look at American life from the 1920s to the present.
