Book Overview
It's 1974 and ten-year-old Pick Patterson is stuck for the summer in Twin Falls, Idaho, with his bossy Grandma Grace and his unemployed, easy-going Uncle Buddy. When Evel Knievel comes to town to jump the Snake River Canyon, Pick is caught up in the excitement as the sleepy little community is awakened and invaded by the worldwide press, motorcycle gangs, drugged-up hippies, and spectators who've come to witness the historic event.
For the 50th Anniversary of Evel Knievel's jump, author Kelly Jones brings readers a new edition of Evel Knievel Jumps the Snake River Canyon, originally published in 2014.
Now including stories from those who were there in 1974:
Steve Swope, the motorcycle enthusiast
John Killen, the rookie reporter
David Whitehead, the phone company guy
Charles Cosgriff, the golfing buddy
Rita Delaney, the liaison's wife
Jim Jones, the Evel attorney
Sue Swenson Cummins, the cowgirl detective
