What is a Storyville? Whether you're in Toast, North Carolina,
Monkey's Eyebrow, Kentucky, or Winner, South Dakota, a Storyville
is a real town you can find on a map, with a tale behind its quirky
name. Covering 20,000 miles of U.S. roads, Dale Peterson drove with
his kids, Britt and Bayne, from Start, Louisiana, to Deadhorse,
Alaska in search of small-town America in the "garage sale of the
open highway." Along the way they explored open spaces, wild
places, and country back roads and met people who weren't afraid to
talk to one another.
Together, they discovered the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells
of nearly sixty small towns, as well as the zany stories behind
them, guided by an AAA Road Atlas, expert local storytellers, and
lots of curiosity. They dipped into Caddo Lake and the everglades
of Uncertain, Texas, went a little crazy in Loco, Oklahoma, and
learned about bee colonies in Climax, New York. Conversations with
townsfolk range from the refrigerator at the center of Noodle,
Texas, and the hazards of Accident, Maryland, to issues of civil
rights, religion, and environmental preservation. Collected here
are the landscapes, landmarks, faces, thoughts, and conversations
of a sentimental, idiosyncratic, and often hilarious American
odyssey. "Storyville, USA" is a long, winding trip into the back
roads of the country and a longer one into the hinterland of our
own hearts.
