Product Description:
All New Journeys From The New York Times Bestselling Author Of A Life On The Road
I keep thinking I will find something wonderful just around the bend.
Ever since October 1967, when he set off in a battered motor home to explore America and talk to its people, Charles Kuralt has been one of our premier chroniclers -- a man who has helped us see and celebrate our country in a way we never had before.
After retiring from CBS News in 1994, he set out to spend a perfect year in America -- traveling to his twelve favorite American places, in just the right month for a visit to each. With his well-known warmth, humor and insight, he shows them to us now in Charles Kuralt's America.
From Montana in September and Alaska in June to winter in Cajun country and the North Carolina mountains in spring, Kuralt's accounts are filled with people, stories and experiences. Suffused by a poet's love of language and rich in the spirit and flavor of this infinite and varied land, Charles Kuralt's America is, like its author, a national treasure.

- The Hobo Philosopher
I'm easy on this one. I like Charles Kuralt and I like travel books. I wrote my own travel Book "Hobo-ing America". When I compare my book to his it is easy to see the difference in personalities and "class". Charles Kuralt really writes middle class travel books. He is really not "Route 66", blue collar or working class material. But I understand. You really have to write books for those who can afford to buy them - though Jack Kerouac did pretty well. Charles made a commercial success of his love ... Read More

- A good but not great book
I did enjoy this book, but there were parts where I lost interest. Kuralt gives a lot of detail about the people he meets, but sometimes I didn't get as many details as I would have liked about the actual place he visited. In all, it is a book worth reading-- especially if you like to hear stories about individual characters.
Rating: - "He looked up at a towering tree,and dared to think small."
If you've enjoyed Charles Kuralt over the years ,you'll love this book.In 255 pages we are treated to 120 stories about interesting,famous,familiar,personal,human intrest stories and just about anything you might come across if you travelled America as Kuralt did and told us about for so many years.What you should really get from this book is that there is this type of thing all around us,no matter where you go or where you live.One doesn't have to spend their coin,or line up with crowds to ...

Rating: - Kuralt a Genius
Charles Osgood called Kuralt "The only genius that television news ever produced." I'll go with that. People were surprised when Kuralt retired abruptly. We later learned that he was in the process of succumbing to a fatal disease. So Kuralt was not just touring America, he was saying good bye to it. It is a brilliant work.
Rating: - Third age vagabond
Charles Kuralt reads his own work on the audiobook. It seems like he had a lot of fun traveling around the country. People knew him, and then offered to show him around, for example, fly over a glacier in Alaska or have a special interview with a noted saddle maker in New Mexico.
It's nice that he had the money and means to do these things, a kind of third age "On the Road" adventure, but of course without the drugs and revels of Kerouac. And no Cody.
