The young Thornton worked at a variety of odd jobs to put himself through school and college and help his mother run the house. One of his jobs was located in a wooded area near the town and it was here that Thornton developed his passion for wildlife, nature and conservation.iBoo World's Best Classics iBoo Press House uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work.
