It is an expedition that reveals the heart of the American West. A travelogue, a work of scholarship, and a western adventure, Great Plains takes us from the site of Sitting Bull’s cabin, to an abandoned house once terrorized by Bonnie and Clyde, to the scene of the murders chronicled in Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood. With his unique blend of intrepidity, tongue-in-cheek humor, and wide-eyed wonder, Ian Frazier takes us on a journey of more than 25,000 miles up and down and across the vast and myth-inspiring Great Plains. A hilarious and fascinating look at the great middle of our nation. Most travelers only fly over the Great Plains–but Ian Frazier, ever the intrepid and wide-eyed wanderer, is not your average traveler. How has this region taken hold in the American imagination, both past and present? Writer and humorist Ian Frazier recounts the many stories he encounters during his travels through its wide open spaces in his book Great Plains. Most of Russell’s stories took place across the Great Plains of the American West.
