Description Beloved best-selling author Tony Horwitz retraces Frederick Law Olmsted's epic journey across the American South in the 1850s, as he too searches for common ground in a dangerously riven nation.
On the eve of the Civil War, an up-and-coming newspaper, the New York Times , sent a young travel writer to explore the South, which was alien territory to the Connecticut Yankee correspondent and to his Northern readers.
Identified in the paper as Yeo.
