Loved this book! These travel essays have made me want to travel to places that I have never desired to go to. The story about beer led me to my local grocery store to find this one beer that the author had enjoyed. I doubted that I would find it, but it was there! It's now one of my favorite beers. I'm glad that the essays collected here have already led me on one of the many adventures I hope to have. :)

A delightful collection of travel essays, many about the Plains, most about America, some about more exotic locales. All offer some insight into human geography. I might use some on Kansas to teach US history students from New England a better sense of what that challenge was really like for early Anglo settlers as well as for the First Americans. A great summer read!
