A quest across America, from the northernmost tip of Maine to California’s Monterey Peninsula. To hear the speech of the real America, to smell the grass and the trees, to see the colors and the light—these were John Steinbeck's goals as he set out, at the age of fifty-eight, to rediscover the country he had been writing about for so many years. With Charley, his French poodle, Steinbeck drives the interstates and the country roads, dines with truckers, encounters bears at Yellowstone and old friends in San Francisco.

Journal of a Trapper: Nine Years in the Rocky Mountains 1834-1843 - Osborne Russell Cover Art

Journal of a Trapper: Nine Years in the Rocky Mountains 1834-1843

Journal of a Trapper: Nine Years in the Rocky Mountains 1834-1843 by Osborne Russell

Journal of a Trapper is one of the most important first hand accounts of the mountain man era. In it, Russell provides a detailed narrative describing the day-to-day life of an ordinary trapper in the Rocky Mountains. The Journal begins when Russell hired on with Nathaniel Wyeth's second expedition to the west. He participated in the establishment of Fort Hall, and later became a free trapper. He trapped for nine years in the greater Yellowstone region before leaving the mountains to settle in Oregon. Osborne Russell (1814 – August 2, 1892) was a mountain man and politician who helped form the government of the U.S. state of Oregon. He was born in Maine. Russell first came to the Oregon Country in 1834 as a member of Nathaniel J. Wyeth's second expedition. He returned to the country in 1842 with the Elijah White party. He participated in the May 2, 1843 Champoeg Meeting, voting in favor of forming a government. In October of that year he was selected by the First Executive Committee to serve as the supreme judge for the Provisional Government of Oregon and served until May 14, 1844. In 1844, he was elected to the second Executive Committee of the Provisional Government of Oregon. He was allied with the group that planned to create an independent Republic of the Pacific and thus was unsuccessful in his run for governor of the Provisional Government in 1845, losing to George Abernethy. Russell eventually went to California. Although not published until well after the establishment of Yellowstone National Park, Osborne's Journal of a Trapper contains an early description of the Lamar Valley or Osborne's Secluded Valley in Yellowstone.

James Bridger, Trapper, Frontiersman, Scout and Guide, A Historical Narrative - J. Cecil Alter Cover Art

James Bridger, Trapper, Frontiersman, Scout and Guide, A Historical Narrative

James Bridger, Trapper, Frontiersman, Scout and Guide, A Historical Narrative by J. Cecil Alter

"James Bridger...perhaps more than any other contributed to and made history of the western third of the United States...It is astounding...a comprehensive study of Old Jim Bridger...most interesting...a monument to the long-neglected Bridger, a landmark in any comprehensive study of the west and a performance which bespeaks immortality for the author." -Salt Lake Telegram, July 5, 1925 "James Bridger, famous western guide and trail-blazer, is now one of the Immortals...his biography the work of J. Cecil Alter, contains much that is old, and well known regarding his life, but many well known regarding his life, but many facts not accessible before to the majority of readers, are found within it." -Fairfield Times, January 7, 1926 "The standard work on Bridger remains J. Cecil Alter, James Bridger: Trapper, Frontiersman, Scout, and Guide." -Speaking Ill of the Dead: Jerks in Montana History (2011) Heading to the west in 1822, James Bridger took to the Rocky Mountain wilderness like one born to it, and soon became one of the West's most skillful single-handed hunters and beaver trappers, eventually to take the leadership of a trapper's brigade; and subsequently to accept the responsibilities of proprietorship of a major fur-trapping and trading enterprise. James Bridger, known as Jim Bridger (1804 - 1881), was among the foremost mountain men, trappers, scouts and guides who explored and trapped the Western United States during the decades of 1820-1850, as well as mediating between native tribes and emigrants. The western plains and mountains brought forth thousands of men noted for their valor, bravery, daring, sagacity, woodcraft, frontiersmanship and skill in guiding wagon trains and military expeditions across the trackless prairie and barren desert and through snow capped mountain fastnesses on the way to the land of gold beyond the setting sun, or in trailing and bringing to bay the tribes that sternly fought the advances of civilization; but among those dauntless spirits there was one who stood head and shoulders above all others as the greatest scout, trapper and guide, the most skilled frontiersman, and the quietest, most modest and unassuming prairie man in all the west. That person was James Bridger, Major Bridger, or, as he was more commonly and familiarly known, "old Jim Bridger," the "grand old man of the Rockies." No history of the American western frontier would be complete without a sketch of the life of this remarkable man. In 1925 J. Cecil Alter would publish the greatest biographical narrative of James Bridger under the title "James Bridger, Trapper, Frontiersman, Scout and Guide, A Historical Narrative." About the author: J. Cecil Alter spent 39 years in the U.S. Weather Bureau in Salt Lake City, passing away in 1965. He was deeply interested in Utah and its past, and was a member of the Utah Historical Society, serving on its board and editing the society's Quarterly. His biography of Jim Bridger is considered a classic.

Moving to California

Moving to California Your guide to relocating to the Golden State by Alex Bugeja

Moving to California is more than just a change of address; it’s an immersion into a vibrant, contradictory, and endlessly fascinating way of life. This guide walks you through the realities that tourism brochures gloss over, from the shock of housing costs and the intricacies of the freeway system to the bureaucratic rites of passage at the DMV and the smog check station. You’ll learn how to navigate a competitive rental market, decode cryptic real‑estate lingo, and prepare for the financial impact of the state’s legendary “sunshine tax.” Each chapter blends practical advice with humor, giving you the tools to avoid rookie mistakes while setting realistic expectations for your new adventure. Beyond logistics, the book dives into the cultural nuances that make California unique. You’ll get a crash course in local slang—understanding when “hella” is a compliment, how to pronounce place names like La Jolla, and the unspoken rules of freeway etiquette. Discover how to decode traffic reports, choose between NorCal and SoCal lifestyles, and find your tribe whether you’re drawn to tech startups, surf culture, wine country, or weekend desert escapes. The guide also prepares you for the state’s environmental realities, offering essential tips on earthquake kits, wildfire defensible space, and how to enjoy the great outdoors safely while avoiding rattlesnakes and poison oak. Practical adulthood in California is covered in detail, from setting up utilities and mastering the recycling/composting system to understanding health insurance options, vehicle registration fees, and the ever‑present tax landscape. You’ll learn how to handle everyday adulting tasks—like dealing with tourists, managing pet etiquette on dog beaches, and choosing a fitness routine that fits the Californian wellness obsession—without losing your mind or your budget. The book also helps you manage expectations, balancing the dream of endless sunshine with the reality of traffic, high costs, and occasional natural challenges, so you can build a life that feels both exciting and sustainable. By the time you reach the final chapter, you’ll feel equipped to turn your move into a genuine transition—not just surviving the initial hurdles, but beginning to thrive in the Golden State’s relentless pace and boundless opportunities. You’ll know how to find a job that supports your avocado toast habit, where to explore on weekends, and how to engage with your new community in a way that feels authentic. This isn’t a generic moving checklist; it’s a tailored roadmap for anyone ready to embrace the quirks, challenges, and undeniable magic of calling California home.

A Voyage Long and Strange - Tony Horwitz Cover Art

A Voyage Long and Strange

A Voyage Long and Strange Rediscovering the New World by Tony Horwitz

A rich mixture of scholarship and modern-day adventure that brings the forgotten first chapter of America's history vividly to life. "Consistently eye-opening and entertaining . . . [Horwitz is] as companionable a traveler as anyone would want on a road trip." — San Francisco Chronicle What happened in North America between Columbus's sail in 1492 and the Pilgrims' arrival in 1620? On a visit to Plymouth Rock, Tony Horwitz realizes he doesn't have a clue, nor do most Americans. So he sets off across the continent to rediscover the wild era when Europeans first roamed the New World in quest of gold, glory, converts, and eternal youth. Horwitz tells the story of these brave and often crazed explorers while retracing their steps on his own epic trek—an odyssey that takes him inside an Indian sweat lodge in subarctic Canada, down the Mississippi in a canoe, on a road trip fueled by buffalo meat, and into sixty pounds of armor as a conquistador reenactor in Florida.

Grand Teton Photography and Field Guide - Daryl L. Hunter Cover Art

Grand Teton Photography and Field Guide

Grand Teton Photography and Field Guide Visiting and photographing Grand Teton National Park and its wildlife by Daryl L. Hunter

The Grand Teton Photo and Field Guide is an encapsulation of the flora, fauna, and photography of Jackson Hole Wyoming and Grand Teton National Park. Also included are thumbnails of the history and geology of the valley. This is an overview, not an encyclopedia. It is a guide and not a novel, so skip over what doesn’t interest you and find what tickles your curiosity. This book is for all visitors with a desire to seek out wildlife, photograph the landscape, or merely learn about the history, geology, and lay of the land of Grand Teton National Park. The author provides general overviews including hot links with more in-depth descriptions of subjects of individual interest. In the “Lay of the Land” section, includes the obvious highlights along the loop through Grand Teton Park. Hot links to side roads will give you more in-depth description of side roads and feeder roads and their highlights. Also included are descriptions of all two-rut roads that are legal to travel on in Grand Teton Park. GPS links to Google Maps are provided throughout.  As a field guide, profiles of most of animals and birds in the area are described. Jackson Hole is full of wildlife but there are places where animals are, and there are places where they are not. It is a waste of time to scrutinize a landscape devoid of what you are looking for, so this guide narrows options down to the hot spots. Provide are maps of the likeliest places to find the popular critters of Grand Teton National Park. Flora is also covered with an overview of trees, shrubs, and wildflowers with minimal explanations.  Also included are explanations of the Greater Yellowstone ecology and wildlife safety tips. The grandeur of Grand Teton Park has made it one of the most photographed places in the world. The opportunity to harness multiple juxtapositional elements has drawn photographers for over a century since William Henry Jackson took the first photos here in 1878. The author shares Grand Teton Park’s plethora of famous vistas as well as many which are less clichéd that can bring new perspectives of a well-documented landscape. In this chapter are explanations of how he sees, what he look for, where to go, and reasons why he shoots the way he does. Grand Tetons’ iconic landscape photo opportunities are described in detail; however, they barely scratch the surface of opportunities as it takes a photographer with an artist’s eye to unveil as they follow their own intuition and vision.  The author who shies away from clichéd landscapes provides a chapter of his favorite places that aren’t landscape clichés.  In the photography section the author includes chapters on composition, exposure basics, when to shoot and why. Daryl has summarized what he teaches in his, half day, Grand Teton workshops in a simple concise way. If you are only in Grand Teton Park for a day there is a chapter called the “Portfolio Packer Morning Trip,” that does just that, all the icons and several favorite places in a five hour blitz.  But it is better to spend more time and dig deep into the embarrassment of riches of Grand Teton National Park.

Dispatches from Pluto - Richard Grant Cover Art

Dispatches from Pluto

Dispatches from Pluto Lost and Found in the Mississippi Delta by Richard Grant

In Dispatches from Pluto , adventure writer Richard Grant takes on “the most American place on Earth”—the enigmatic, beautiful, often derided Mississippi Delta. Richard Grant and his girlfriend were living in a shoebox apartment in New York City when they decided on a whim to buy an old plantation house in the Mississippi Delta. Dispatches from Pluto —winner of the Pat Conroy Southern Book Prize—is their journey of discovery into this strange and wonderful American place. Imagine A Year In Provence with alligators and assassins, or Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil with hunting scenes and swamp-to-table dining. On a remote, isolated strip of land, three miles beyond the tiny community of Pluto, Richard and his girlfriend, Mariah, embark on a new life. They learn to hunt, grow their own food, and fend off alligators, snakes, and varmints galore. They befriend an array of unforgettable local characters—blues legend T-Model Ford, cookbook maven Martha Foose, catfish farmers, eccentric millionaires, and the actor Morgan Freeman. Grant brings an adept, empathetic eye to the fascinating people he meets, capturing the rich, extraordinary culture of the Delta, while tracking its utterly bizarre and criminal extremes. Reporting from all angles as only an outsider can, Grant also delves deeply into the Delta’s lingering racial tensions. He finds that de facto segregation continues. Yet even as he observes major structural problems, he encounters many close, loving, and interdependent relationships between black and white families—and good reasons for hope. Dispatches from Pluto is a book as unique as the Delta itself. It’s lively, entertaining, and funny, containing a travel writer’s flair for in-depth reporting alongside insightful reflections on poverty, community, and race. It’s also a love story, as the nomadic Grant learns to settle down. He falls not just for his girlfriend but for the beguiling place they now call home. Mississippi, Grant concludes, is the best-kept secret in America.

Coming into the Country

Coming into the Country by John McPhee

Coming into the Country is an unforgettable account of Alaska and Alaskans. It is a rich tapestry of vivid characters, observed landscapes, and descriptive narrative, in three principal segments that deal, respectively, with a total wilderness, with urban Alaska, and with life in the remoteness of the bush. Readers of McPhee's earlier books will not be unprepared for his surprising shifts of scene and ordering of events, brilliantly combined into an organic whole. In the course of this volume we are made acquainted with the lore and techniques of placer mining, the habits and legends of the barren-ground grizzly, the outlook of a young Athapaskan chief, and tales of the fortitude of settlers—ordinary people compelled by extraordinary dreams. Coming into the Country unites a vast region of America with one of America's notable literary craftsmen, singularly qualified to do justice to the scale and grandeur of the design.

Our Towns

Our Towns A 100,000-Mile Journey into the Heart of America by James Fallows & Deborah Fallows

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • "James and Deborah Fallows have always moved to where history is being made.... They have an excellent sense of where world-shaping events are taking place at any moment" — The New York Times • The basis for the HBO documentary streaming on HBO Max For five years, James and Deborah Fallows have travelled across America in a single-engine prop airplane. Visiting dozens of towns, the America they saw is acutely conscious of its problems—from economic dislocation to the opioid scourge—but it is also crafting solutions, with a practical-minded determination at dramatic odds with the bitter paralysis of national politics. At times of dysfunction on a national level, reform possibilities have often arisen from the local level. The Fallowses describe America in the middle of one of these creative waves. Their view of the country is as complex and contradictory as America itself, but it also reflects the energy, the generosity and compassion, the dreams, and the determination of many who are in the midst of making things better. Our Towns is the story of their journey—and an account of a country busy remaking itself.

The Deepest South of All - Richard Grant Cover Art

The Deepest South of All

The Deepest South of All True Stories from Natchez, Mississippi by Richard Grant

Bestselling travel writer Richard Grant “sensitively probes the complex and troubled history of the oldest city on the Mississippi River through the eyes of a cast of eccentric and unexpected characters” ( Newsweek ). Natchez, Mississippi, once had more millionaires per capita than anywhere else in America, and its wealth was built on slavery and cotton. Today it has the greatest concentration of antebellum mansions in the South, and a culture full of unexpected contradictions. Prominent white families dress up in hoopskirts and Confederate uniforms for ritual celebrations of the Old South, yet Natchez is also progressive enough to elect a gay black man for mayor with 91% of the vote. Much as John Berendt did for Savannah in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and the hit podcast S-Town did for Woodstock, Alabama, so Richard Grant does for Natchez in The Deepest South of All . With humor and insight, he depicts a strange, eccentric town with an unforgettable cast of characters. There’s Buzz Harper, a six-food-five gay antique dealer famous for swanning around in a mink coat with a uniformed manservant and a very short German bodybuilder. There’s Ginger Hyland, “The Lioness,” who owns 500 antique eyewash cups and decorates 168 Christmas trees with her jewelry collection. And there’s Nellie Jackson, a Cadillac-driving brothel madam who became an FBI informant about the KKK before being burned alive by one of her customers. Interwoven through these stories is the more somber and largely forgotten account of Abd al Rahman Ibrahima, a West African prince who was enslaved in Natchez and became a cause célèbre in the 1820s, eventually gaining his freedom and returning to Africa. With an “easygoing manner” (Geoff Dyer, National Book Critics Circle Award–winning author of Otherwise Known as the Human Condition ), this book offers a gripping portrait of a complex American place, as it struggles to break free from the past and confront the legacy of slavery.

Deep South - Paul Theroux Cover Art

Deep South

Deep South by Paul Theroux

The acclaimed author of The Great Railway Bazaar takes a revealing journey through the Southern US in a " vivid contemporary portrait of rural life " ( Atlanta Journal-Constitution ).   Paul Theroux has spent decades roaming the globe and writing of his experiences with remote people and far-flung places. Now, for the first time, he turns his attention to a corner of America—the Deep South. On a winding road trip through Mississippi, South Carolina, and elsewhere below the Mason-Dixon, Theroux discovers architectural and artistic wonders, incomparable music, mouth-watering cuisine—and also some of the worst schools, medical care, housing, and unemployment rates in the nation.   Most fascinating of all are Theroux's many encounters with the people who make the South what it is—from preachers and mayors to quarry workers and gun show enthusiasts. With his astute ear and penetrating mind, Theroux once again demonstrates his "remarkable gift for getting strangers to reveal themselves" in this eye-opening excursion into his own country ( The New York Times Book Review ).   "Paul Theroux's latest travel memoir had me at hello…Theroux pulls no punches in his quest to understand this overlooked margin of American life." — Boston Globe
