A Walk Across America
A Walk Across America | Peter Jenkins
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. "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.

I love a book about someone on a journey, especially a #walk, fiction or non. I think A Walk Across America may have started this interest. My senior English teacher had us read this.

I read this book a couple of years ago for a book club and really enjoyed it. Peter‘s story telling is great, you almost feel like you‘re right there walking with him sometimes.Forget running with Gump, walk with Peter! Warning, expect some tears.

This is one of those books that follows you through a lifetime. I first picked it up around 16 years old and immediately fell in love with the entire concept. Peter has a great way of pulling you into his experiences. Flash forward to my early twenties; I find the book on my shelf and read it again. And again in my early 30s. Every decade of age progression brings a new perspective and appreciation of this amazing journey. Must read.
