Description

Spanning over 25,000 miles, Great Plains is a sweeping journey through the heart of America's vast and myth-inspiring region. Ian Frazier's unique blend of intrepidity, humor, and wonder takes readers on an expedition that reveals the essence of the American West.

This travelogue, work of scholarship, and western adventure weaves together stories from the site of Sitting Bull's cabin to an abandoned house once terrorized by Bonnie and Clyde. Along the way, Frazier explores the region's rich history, culture, and landscapes, offering a fresh perspective on this often-overlooked corner of the country.

From the rugged terrain of the Midwest to the vast expanses of the West, Great Plains is a fascinating exploration of America's greatest unknown territory. With its unique blend of humor, scholarship, and adventure, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to discover the hidden heart of the American West.
