the ride of our lives


 

Of what is the most humble American capable? Much more than you can imagine! Come read about this amazing travel yarn, a journalistic tour-de-force recreation of a 1954 cross-country journey by horse by an elderly, penniless, and ailing woman from Maine.

About Ben

Ben Batchelder has traveled some of the world's most remote roads. Nothing in his background, from a degree in Visual & Environmental Studies at Harvard to an MBA from Wharton, adequately prepared him for the experiences. Yet he persists, for through such journeys life unfolds. Having published four books that map the inner and exterior geographies of meaningful travel, he is a mountain man in Minas Gerais, Brazil who comes down to the sea at Miami Beach, Florida. His second travel yarn, To Belém & Back, received a starred review from Publishers Weekly. For more, visit www.benbatchelder.com.
