As a young boy, Al Quie developed a love for and knowledge of horses. Books he read and stories he heard since childhood inspired his dream to ride horseback along the Continental Divide. But it wasn t until the 1980s (after 28 years of public life, serving as State Senator, U.S. Congressman and Governor of Minnesota) that Quie made time to fulfill this aspiration and tell his life s story in a most unique, compelling, and inspiring way. Over the course of nine summers accompanied by over two dozen friends, colleagues, acquaintances and sons (a few on each odyssey) Al rode from Canada to Mexico, journaling along the way. That journal is now available for your enjoyment. As you read Riding the Divide, you also will experience the majesty and beauty of God s creation and gain an understanding of why Al s dream did not flicker through the years. Riding the Divide will also give you a first-hand look at what it is like to pack horses each morning and to find your way without a guide. You will become part of the banter among friends and will get to know the real Al Quie, who honestly reveals his loves, frustrations, struggles, strengths, weaknesses and quirks all the while remaining a man who strongly follows after Christ., ISBN13: 9780974388601 ISBN10: 0974388602 Material Type: paperbackAs a young boy, Al Quie developed a love for and knowledge of horses.
