This book takes the reader along on the author's trip through the United States, tracking early American history. In addition to being quite well-written and very amusing, it seems to offer a fairly cogent, general, early history of American exploration, carefully tracking aspects of history that aren't necessarily taught in American elementary schools. It's a little casual for a formal history book (though it has a robust bibliography) and it's by no means comprehensive (although it is upfront about what it includes and excludes and why)--but well worth the read.
