Hailed as a masterpiece of American travel writing, Blue Highways is an unforgettable journey along our nation's backroads. William Least Heat-Moon set out with little more than the need to put home behind him and a sense of curiosity about "those little towns that get on the map--if they get on at all--only because some cartographer has a blank space to fill in: Remote, Oregon; Simplicity, Virginia; Whynot, Mississippi." His adventures, his discoveries, and his recollections of the extraordinary people he encountered along the way amout to a revelation of the true American experience.
