D. Feist wows with his, as he describes, Life's Work with the February 2013 release Abandoned Homestead Americana. Escape for a walk in the woods where feet have never, or not recently, trod. Traverse America to all its niches in: Oregon, Washington, Texas, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine and more. Enjoy tall ships, a 19th century Melvillian sea voyage, gold rushes, a farmer's claim in the Maine wilderness, the Pacific Northwest in August, and the desert Southwest in February. Head for the hills in Georgia to camp out, or run from earthquakes in colonial times in Tennessee. Feist does not disappoint with Abandoned Homestead Americana: a collection of poems, correspondences, anecdotes, recollections, and short stories. Illustrated with extraordinary naturalist sketches and another stunning contribution from Farragut, Tennessee's own Rocio Bowers. This large print version is outstanding as a gift to a dear one in retirement who loved the outdoors and the vastness of America.
