New York, NY, U.S.A.: Putnam Publishing Group, The, 1995. Hard Cover. As New/As New. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. ISBN:0399140832. 1st printing. "I had spent nearly all my life traveling in the U.S., but there was one more fanciful journey I had always wanted to make. Now I had the chance, and the prospect thrilled me. I would go alone and without a plan and without a budget. I would drift with the current of life. I'd be footloose and a lit tle irresponsible, and I'd have a perfect year in America." Ever since 1967, when he set off in a battered motor home to explore America and talk to its people, Kuralt has been one of our premier chr o niclers, a man who has helped us to see and celebrate our country in a way we never had before. Though he retired from CBS News in 1994, he never retired from his wanderings. "I keep thinking I wil l f ind something wonderful just around the bend," he explains, and so he took off again to revisit some of his favorite palces in their favorite seasons, to rediscover slices of America that have al w a ys been closest to his heart; and with the warmth and humor and uncommon insight that have always been his hallmarks, he shows then to us now: wonderful things, just around the bend.
