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.
