The original book

The Last of the Saddle Tramps by Messannie Wilkins written by the woman who actually did it.

Lots of history, more than just the story your expecting

There is so much history from 1950's US mixed into this story. I have to admit I skimmed by most of it just wanting to read the story of her travels, but a very educational book if you absorb the info on every page. A slice of Americana represented in a way seldom seen in literature.
