Description

Destination Unknown is the true story of the remarkable chain of events in the life of a man who closed his eyes, stuck a pin in a map and let fate take its course. As a youth, Reg A. Richards only wanted to escape the city and experience freedom in the country, to learn to drive a team of horses and become a ploughman. Instead, he ended up on a journey into the unknown world of business, availing himself of the many and varied opportunities thrown into his path.
