In 1978, the author 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—only because some cartographer has a blank space to fill.

He traveled to Remote, Oregon; Simplicity, Virginia; New Freedom, Pennsylvania; New Hope, Tennessee; Why, Arizona; Whynot, Mississippi." This record of his 13,000-mile journey across the United States chronicles his adventures, his discoveries, and the ordinary-but-extraordinary people he encountered along the way. Includes a map of Heat-Moon’s journey and an index of the towns and cities visited.
