Early Life[edit]
Albertson was reportedly born in Indiana in 1938, although no exact date is known. Childhood experiences such as being stuck in a snowstorm caused inspiration for later books. In 1954, he got his first job at a Shell gas station, in Silvester, California. He was only 16 when he started, and he worked 90 hours a week, paid $1 per hour. At the time, he lived in a car near his work. According to Albertson in 2015, had to bathe in the gas station restroom regularly. He was also forced to resort to stealing apples from a nearby grocery store.
