Ghost Riders: Travels with American Nomads
Description
Richard Grant has never spent more than twenty-two consecutive nights under the same roof. Motivated partly by his own wanderlust and partly by his realisation that America is a land populated by wanderers, he set out to test his theory.
AMERICAN NOMADS is the extraordinary result.
Grant follows the trails of the first European to wander across the American West (a failed conquistador); joins a group of rodeo-competing cowboys (and gets thrown by a mechanical bull); tells the story of the vanishing nomadic Indians and links up with 300,000 'gerito gypsies' - old people who live and travel in their RVs.

'When all is said and done, there are two types of men: those who stay at home and those who do not' Kipling.
This is the story of those that 'did not' who are populated - and are still travelling - in America.
