I keep thinking I will find something wonderful just around the bend.
Ever since October 1967, when he set off in a battered motor home to explore America and talk to its people, Charles Kuralt has been one of our premier chroniclers -- a man who has helped us see and celebrate our country in a way we never had before.
After retiring from CBS News in 1994, he set out to spend a perfect year in America -- traveling to his twelve favorite American places, in just the right month for a visit to each. With his well-known warmth, humor and insight, he shows them to us now in Charles Kuralt's America.
From Montana in September and Alaska in June to winter in Cajun country and the North Carolina mountains in spring, Kuralt's accounts are filled with people, stories and experiences. Suffused by a poet's love of language and rich in the spirit and flavor of this infinite and varied land, Charles Kuralt's America is, like its author, a national treasure.©1995 Charles Kuralt, All Rights Reserved; (P)1995 Simon & Schuster Inc., All Rights Reserved; Audioworks is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

Fantastic

I had heard this book prior to downloading it from this site, so I knew what to expect. Still, I could not help being wowed all over again. It is the perfect tale of one man's favorite American locations at their perfect time of year. The wide range of personalties that he encounters in many places, that I have never been, inspire me to travel there in the hopes that my experiences would be a fraction of how interesting Kuralt's are. The icing on the cake is Kuralt's narration. His timeless voice paints a vivid picture of America through his eyes.

I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. My favorite chapters are Charleston, SC and Key West.

Charles has the hope of America

I was really thrilled by this title. Charles takes you on a tour of America and you can only enjoy the ride. This was the most involving book on tape that I have ever listened to. I have passed it on to friends and family and they loved it. Too bad Charles had to have a mistress in Montana, that was the only bad this he ever did and my wife and I laugh about the part of the book where he goes to Montana thinking he really is just shacking up with his girlfriend.

He was a real American.

Well written, I love that Mr. Kuralt read his books himself. I miss his presence but I don’t have to miss him speaking to me.

A walk down memory lane.

Listening to Charles is like traveling back in time. You get the same feeling as when you look at a Norman Rockwell painting. We were lucky to have had him. He showed us the good in people.

a once in a generation human.

Charles was a journalist and human to the greatest extent. The last of a by gone era. our world misses him
