About this title

Synopsis

This book follows the author's travels throughout rural areas of the United States in the late 19th century. It is both a chronicle of a journey to remote outposts and a vivid window into the lives and challenges of rural Americans during this era. The author explores the tension between the nation's ideals and the realities of everyday life in these areas. The book includes the author's experiences meeting homesteaders, ranchers, teachers, and Native Americans, as well as his observations on the role of religion, education, and the natural environment in shaping their lives. Along the way, the author examines issues of poverty, isolation, social progress, and the continuing struggle for equality. The personal narrative combines history, geography, and sociology to provide a unique perspective on American identity and the experiences of those often overlooked by mainstream society.
