Over a fifteen-year period, Edwin Way Teale traveled over 76,000 miles chronicling the march of the seasons throughout the continental United States. "What a journey it proves to be! like its predecessors, it drives home what a prodigiously picturesque land we inhabit had we but the grace and vision to look at it." Includes an Index.
