Man & Horse: The Long Ride Across America by John EgenesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is an affecting, sage, evocative memoir of the author riding Gizmo the quarter horse from California to the Atlantic Ocean in Virginia in 1974. Along abandoned stretches of Route 66, empty land, fenced in grazing lands, pipelines and more he witnesses a country changing post-'60s and moving uneasily into a future just as he travels surely to and through the densely populated east. I really did not want to get to the end of the small vignettes or recollections and musings - easy to read wisdom and travelogue.
