false 122781 11 <p><strong>Twenty-five years ago, a disillusioned young man set out on a walk across America. This is the book he wrote about that journey -- a classic account of the reawakening of his faith in himself and his country.</strong></p><p>"I started out searching for myself and my country," Peter Jenkins writes, "and found both." In this timeless classic, Jenkins describes how disillusionment with society in the 1970s drove him out onto the road on a walk across America. His experiences remain as sharp and telling today as they were twenty-five years ago -- from the timeless secrets of life, learned from a mountain-dwelling hermit, to the stir he caused by staying with a black family in North Carolina, to his hours of intense labor in Southern mills. Many, many miles later, he learned lessons about his country and himself that resonate to this day -- and will inspire a new generation to get out, hit the road and explore.</p> 806366 1982 A Walk Across America total:901|5:275|4:370|3:197|2:47|1:12| 901 3552 1165 156 3 1 false false Sat Feb 14 09:53:13 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 14 10:06:36 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 2 false false Tue Aug 28 22:28:32 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 28 22:30:41 -0700 2007 2 1 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 01 08:58:15 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 01 09:28:35 -0700 2007 more...]]> 2 0 false false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon May 18 08:39:20 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 08:55:20 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false true Fri Apr 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 11 16:54:59 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 24 09:46:48 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Sep 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 22:00:29 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 10:18:22 -0700 2009 ...more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jun 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 08:48:09 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 12:43:18 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 1 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Tue May 29 06:33:32 -0700 2007 Tue May 29 06:33:39 -0700 2007 enchanted me, though I could see it as more important than a mere travel
