Description

Ed Davis's writing shines in his descriptive passages, showcasing his love of travel and landscapes. His stories take you to unexpected places.

In 1972, like many of his generation, Ed Davis felt the call of the road. He rode freight trains, catching rides on-the-fly, sleeping in hobo jungles, and dodging railroad security across the Pacific Northwest and Canada. For four decades, whenever possible, Davis took to the road, whether trekking through the Sierras, visiting an old friend in prison, or attending a presidential inauguration.

Recorded in various locations - from hotel lobbies to high mountain camps - Road Stories is a collection of travel tales that resonate with readers. With a keen eye, Davis describes the mundane details of bus travel and the feel of the warm breeze on an open car window at night. His stories invite you to hop a fast freight for parts unknown.
