Roads

Larry McMurtry writes about his travels in America, beginning with his Texas town a mile from Rte. 281 that runs from Manitoba to Mexico, and ending with a trip from Seattle to Omaha via seven U.S. highways. En route, he provides us with his thoughts not only about highways and traveling on them, but about episodes in American history, his boyhood, his own books, and the books of others.
