Born in Norway in 1875  he spent his early years there before going to university in Berlin. As a young engineer he emigrated to the United States. After living and working in New York  in 1928 he moved to Canada with his wife and children and made his home in Montreal. Despite the financial problems which he encountered throughout his life  his good humour and determination never failed nor did his devotion to the outdoors and the development of skiing. Jackrabbit became a symbol for wilderness adventure and the excitement of cross-country skiing and  through his energy and enthusiasm  managed to impart his ideals to countless others. Alice Johannsen vividly describes the way her father lived and thought  and explains the personal philosophy that shaped his activities and achievements. This enjoyable biography will appeal to a wide range of general readers and offers a rich source for studies in sport  sociology  Canadian history  and Scandinavian studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946725371957,"sku":"ByrdShop_0773511512","price":49.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780773511514_b7b3f3c3-3c80-4d65-9bb3-499a8ab001d5.jpg?v=1771314664","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-legendary-jackrabbit-johannsen","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
