Along with being a fascinating look into America circa 1970/1980, this collection of stories about real people that the legendary reporter met as he drove his RV across the country, is a look back into a time when journalist – and their audience – weren’t just interested in the latest scandals, but had an honest curiosity about the people and the world around them. Today, the story of an 80-year-old woman who pilots a plane would be on America’s Funniest Home Video, but only if she crashed. With Kuralt, her story of fighting for the right to fly in the then male-dominated skies makes her an American hero.
