From the dust jacket: "Peter Jenkins first began his walk across the continenal United States in 1973. In A WALK ACROSS AMERICA he wrote of his adventures with his dog, Cooper, during his trek from New York to New Orleans. THE WALK WEST chronicles the second half of that journey. It starts in New Orleans where Jenkins meets and marries seminary student Barbara Jo Pennell. She becomes his companion on the road for the next two years. Together they explore the bayous of Louisiana, the plains of Texas, walk through blazing heat and plod through rain and snow all the way to the Pacific."
