A National Geographic book detailing 100 journeys through all 50 states and 10 Canadian provinces. Mr. Yogerst has written several books for National Geographic

The author goes on to tell about the history of the West and the relationships between the Mounties (police), the Natives, and the settlers. Even though the Canadians did not have the issues that the US struggled with, they still managed to break their promises to the First Nation.

This book is short, but very well organized, so well organized in fact that I noticed how organized it is. The themes, events, and theories all have their own place, as well as dedicated chapters to portions of Wolverine’s life and battles (with others, himself and romantic ones as well).

A good story but not one that gets a hold of you and doesn’t let go
