From CBS Sunday Morning correspondent Conor Knighton, a behind-the-scenery look at his year traveling to each of America's National Parks, discovering the most beautiful places and most interesting people our country has to offer.
What The Reviewers Say
Part travel monologue, part heartfelt, healing memoir, the uniquely structured debut book from CBS news correspondent Conor Knighton is essentially a love letter to America, and to himself.
Knighton brings some keen historical and cultural insights to this survey of America’s five dozen wondrously varied national parks.
Knighton is a companionable guide, light on his feet, with a steady store of hit-or-miss jokes, some excellent descriptive passages, good background material, and a few sweeping insights as to why national parks are so essential.
... lackluster.
