In 1972, Ed Davis, like many in his generation, felt the call of
the road. Unlike most, Davis rode freight trains. He caught rides
on-the-fly, slept in hobo jungles and dodged railroad security
across the Pacific Northwest and Canada. And like Jack Kerouac and
Jack London before him, Davis wrote about what he saw.
For the next four decades, whether catching freights, trekking
the Sierras, visiting an old friend in prison or attending a
presidential inauguration, Davis took to the road whenever
possible. Written in freight cars and truck stops, hotel lobbies
and high mountain camps, "Road Stories "will take you places you've
never been.
Join Davis working in an African hospital in a country on the
verge of collapse. Spend a week exploring the remote paths of the
Peruvian Andes. With a keen eye, he describes the seemingly mundane
details of bus travel, and the feel of the warm prairie breeze
blowing through an open car window at night.
Davis's travel tales resonate with readers because, as he says
in the Forward, "We spend our lives on the road." Told with honesty
and humor, "Road Stories" makes you want to hop a fast freight for
parts unknown. Just watch out for the railroad bulls.
