Book Reviews of A Walk Across America
Book Review: "A journey of self-discovery, a special book"
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a classic that came out in 1979, and has deservedly stayed in print. It is ostensibly a backpacking journey across the country begun by a young, somewhat disenchanted man, but it is also very much a journey of self-discovery. A good portion of the memoir takes place in Alabama-in fact, it ends in Mobile-such as a stay in Mountain Brook as well as an eventful Alabama football game in Birmingham. The author's meeting with Governor George Wallace has to be read to be believed. It's a special book.
