All New Journeys From the New York Times Bestselling Author Of A Life On The Road
I keep thinking I will find something wonderful just around the bend.
Ever since October 1967, when he set off in a battered motor home to explore America and talk to its people, Charles Kuralt has been one of our premier chroniclers -- a man who has helped us see and celebrate our country in a way we never had before.
After retiring from CBS News in 1994, he set out to spend a perfect year in America -- traveling to his twelve favorite American places, in just the right month for a visit to each. With his well-known warmth, humor and insight, he shows them to us now in Charles Kuralt's America.
From Montana in September and Alaska in June to winter in Cajun country and the North Carolina mountains in spring, Kuralt's accounts are filled with people, stories and experiences. Suffused by a poet's love of language and rich in the spirit and flavor of this infinite and varied land, Charles Kuralt's America is, like its author, a national treasure.

"Here is a traveler who doesn't go to the biggest attraction around before hitting the road. Mr. Kuralt visited one of his favorite regions each month for a year. He just hangs around town talking to the old-timers and enjoying the weather. January in New Orleans where he raves about the best food ever, October in Vermont - the prime season for seeing the leaves, August in Maine...He goes for a hot-air balloon ride and visits a saddle maker in New Mexico. What a pleasant journey we had together! Great writer. I read this, but I think the audio is read by the author and would probably be fantastic."
