The Walk West: A Walk Across America 2

This meandering chronicle is the second half of Peter Jenkin's trip across America, and is the follow-up to the more successful A Walk Across America. He is also joined by his new wife, Barbara. The first book was about a man searching for answers about himself and his country. This one is more about finishing the hike—not nearly as compelling.

I love books like this. Not only do you get a peek inside one person, you get to explore another time, place,and culture in a way that history textbooks will never match.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Looking forward to reading the 1st part. Think I saw it at an estate sale several weeks ago and I could kick myself for forgetting to purchase it.

An entertaining second book for the second half of the journey.

Wonderful sequel to A Walk in the Woods

A good companion for any trip West
