Books Descriptions
Hailed as a masterpiece of American travel writing, Blue Highways is an
unforgettable journey along our nation's backroads.William Least Heat-Moon
set out with little more than the need to put home behind him and a sense of
curiosity about "those little towns that get on the map-if they get on at all-only
because some cartographer has a blank space to fill: Remote, Oregon;
Simplicity, Virginia; New Freedom, Pennsylvania; New Hope, Tennessee; Why,
Arizona; Whynot, Mississippi."His adventures, his discoveries, and his
recollections of the extraordinary people he encountered along the way amount
to a revelation of the true American experience.
