Charles Kuralt's America by Charles Kuralt
4.0
I learned that I should have hustled my way from mid-sized rags out in the sticks to the big city based on my observational qualities and yen for a nomadic life. Then I read this. Charles Kuralt sets the gold standard for purposeful nomads, and this could be considered his "best-of." Instead of his best writing, though, he chronicles his best places at the best times of year. New Orleans before Mardi Gras, Key West before spring break, his native North Carolina in early spring, and so forth. This book deserves mention with (but does not exceed) "Blue Highways" and "Travels With Charley."
Frankly, learning about his secret family and the bigamy was like learning the truth about the tooth fairy, I hold the man in such high regard. Nothing, though, can take away from his talents and his powers of observation, sharp as ever in his favorite places.
