"Feeling that he had lost the intimate knowledge of his vast native land he valued so highly John Steinbeck set out to 'rediscover' America.  His only companion was his elderly dog Charley, his transport a wondrously equipped pick-up truck christened Rocinante.
So, in his delightful and unique travels, a great writer guides us all over modern USA; from the cold, beautiful, taciturn North to his love affair with Montana; through Idaho, Seattle, California, the vast spaces and king-size hospitalities of Texas; on to New Orleans and a drama of racial hate; then home through Alabama, Virginia, Pennsylvania."
