Description:

Peter Miller's handsome volume documents a freewheeling investigation into the American heartland, a journey born of curiosity about the rugged, resilient individualists who people the region. The author, a former Life reporter, has a knack for pulling pithy quotes out of interview subjects that equals his finesse with the variety of cameras used to vividly record this odyssey. Along the way we meet a Texas eccentric who believes that the 8 percent of the United States population who live in the flatlands are the only ones who count and a Montana rancher who refused to talk to Miller until she determined that he was not an "environmentalist shyster" like those threatening her way of life.
