An exceptionally fine journey novel, set in a somewhen post-apocalyptic time. A group from an only-recently more prosperous farming-based community in the area of Memphis travels by horse and by foot through the MidWest toward the Ohio River and on to Niagara Falls to somewhere in upper New York and New England in search of reconnection with a group in that area, rumored to be the only existing scientific and technological society in the world. Well written, full of adventure and likeable characters, it has a ring to its style and story that stays with the reader for years. This one and "Ancient Shores" were his best; the Benedict series are okay but somewhat snide like the main character, but the Hutchins stories have become too many and dull (although the idea of wiping out consciousness every eight thousand years is fascinating -- we're due).
