In a richly textured travelogue, a British journalist recounts his fifteen-year odyssey throughout the United States, examining the myths and realities of the wandering life as he recalls his encounters with America's nomads and traces the history of wanderers--cowboys, explorers, frontiersmen, trappers, and Native American warriors--in the New World. Reprint.

Ghost Riders: Travels with American Nomads | Richard Grant
post image
Pickpick

A English journalist who has lived in America most of his life and examines the role of the nomad in American tradition from Native Americans to mountain men to hobos to the modern one percenters who cannot fit into society. And he knows his subject having lived the life for years, travelling months at a time on the road in pursuit of both stories but also a great understanding of why some people must always wander. Dated but fascinating.

House under contract. Husband drives U-haul away. My son and I will be nomads for a few weeks staying with friends until school lets out. (Ok, so it‘s not as bad as the picture. It just feels that way)

charl08 Good luck :-) 7y
wanderinglynn I‘m in the same boat & feel your pain. 🙂 I‘m getting ready to move most of my stuff into storage for a week and a half & then road tripping to my mom‘s house until I can move into my new place. 7y
Soubhiville I love this picture! I‘ve always felt a kinship with Nomad types. I hope you aren‘t in limbo couch surfing for too long though, and that you‘re able to settle quickly when you get to your new place. 7y

youngreadrshelf @wanderinglynn I know. Every time I look for something I have to remember where it might be. Good luck to you. 7y
youngreadrshelf @Soubhiville thanks. I don‘t mind living in new places; it‘s just moving the stuff. (And my husband is getting tired of moving books. 😆) 7y
charl08 Wishing you chocolate and wine too! 7y
