Summary: In 1978, William Least Heat-Moon made a 14,000-mile journey on the back roads of America, visiting 38 states along the way. In 1982, the popular Blue Highways , which chronicled his adventures, was published. This book reminds readers of the insatiable attraction of the "blue highway"--"But in those brevities just before dawn and a little after dusk--times neither day or night--the old roads return to the sky some of its color. Then, in truth, they carry a mysterious cast of blue, and it's that time when the pull of the blue highway is strongest, when the open road is a beckoning, a strangeness, a place where a man can lose himself" (Introduction to Blue Highways ).
