Ramblings and Reflections from the Trail

by Tim Hauserman

ISBN: 9781647790653

Pub Date: 2 August 2022

Format: Paperback

156 Pages

Going It Alone is the story of the conflict between joy and loneliness Tim Hauserman discovered on a series of backpack trips in the wilderness: a tale of self-induced misadventures and overwhelming sadness but also many moments of sublime rapture.

Pub Date: 15 March 2022

Format: Paperback

302 Pages

Join author John M. Glionna on a journey to discover the real Nevada, a place inhabited by diverse, spirited, and sometimes quirky people who make up the fabric of the Silver State. Outback Nevada explores the far-flung corners of the seventh-largest state in the nation and introduces its readers to the humanity, courage, strength, and charm of these little-known Americans.

Readers meet men with names like Flash and Mr. Cool; listen to a cowboy...
