The Longest Road

Philip Caputo sets out with a vintage 1962 Airstream trailer, his wife, and their two English setters on an epic cross-country journey from Florida. They cross the Great Plains, loosely retracing the route forged by Lewis and Clark, and reach the Pacific Coast before heading up to Alaska and the Arctic Ocean. Along the way he speaks to people from all walks of life, posing the question, "What holds America together?" Meeting everyone from a West Virginia couple saving souls to a Native American shaman to Tennesseans living off the grid, he finds a story that will entertain and inspire.
