About this title

Synopsis

A copiously illustrated chronicle of a two-year journey along the Gulf Coast, from the Florida Keys to the border of Mexico, details the author's encounters with a variety of rugged, colorful characters and his reflections on his own life. IP.

Reviews

At 22, Jenkins set out on a six-year walk across the country. It was a journey full of new people, places, and ideas, and it became a journey of self-discovery. His account of it (A Walk Across America, 1979) launched a successful writing career. Now nearing 40 and plagued by mid-life ennui, Jenkins once again set out, this time piloting a 25-foot boat along 1600 miles of Gulf Coast from the Florida keys to the mouth of the Rio Grande. During the two-year trip he found a startling array of intriguing characters and parts of America that few of us will ever see. The reader is also pleased that, once again, the author found himself. A travel book and more, this is recommended for all public libraries.?Jim Burns, Ottumwa, Ia.
