Description

American Ramble: A 330-mile walk from Washington, D.C. to New York City, a journey of personal and national renewal. In the spring of 2021, Neil King Jr. embarked on a 26-day trek across historic battlefields, cemeteries, and rural landscapes, seeking to rediscover what matters in life and gain new insights into America's past and present. As he walked, Neil encountered a diverse range of people and places, from Quaker and Amish farms to Valley Forge stream beds and New York Harbor. His journey took him over the Mason-Dixon line, past sites of great historical significance, and into the heart of America. Along the way, he uncovered forgotten pockets and overlooked people, revealing the profound power of shared ground in times of disunity. This memoir is a stunning account of Neil King Jr.'s extraordinary journey, a testament to the human spirit and the enduring power of nature.
