In a rare autobiographical work, the beloved "cracker-barrel philosopher" shares his experiences on the roads he drove during two voyages from New York to his beloved Taos - in 1925, and again in 1960. Sloane offers his wry, heartfelt, and incisive reflections on America's rapidly changing landscapes and regional cultures.
The books of Eric Sloane celebrate the time-honored traditions of early America and remind us of the ties that forever bind us to them. A prolific artist, Sloane created nearly 15,000 paintings and drawings over his lifetime, many of which enhance his delightful books of bygone days.
