Slow Road to Brownsville

Více o knize

In Slow Road to Brownsville, Englishman David Reynolds embarks on a road trip along Highway 83, a little known two lane highway that runs from Swan River, Manitoba, to the Mexican border at Brownsville, Texas, on the Gulf of Mexico.Enthralled by the myth of the Wild West and the romance of the open road, Reynolds explores the realities behind both as he makes his way between small towns, gas stations, and motels, hanging out in bars with the locals and learning the stories of this forgotten middle of North America. Along the way he encounters many legendary figures from North American history, including Lewis and Clark, Sitting Bull, Buffalo Bill, Davy Crockett, and even Truman Capote.
