Right Foot in the Pacific, Left Foot in the Atlantic: An Adventure Across America

On April 8th, 1991, David Stoess left Los Angeles on foot. He arrived at the Empire State Building on September 24th. This is the story of what happened to him in between. Filled with humorous and harrowing tales of tortuous heat, near-fatal flash floods, relentless fire ants, and naked Samaritans. It is a tale of physical challenges, mental hardships, and unlikely heroes. It is, as Stoess sees it, “a tribute to America and her people.”
