About this listen
Charles Kuralt's classic best seller is now on audio!
"To read the front pages, you might conclude that Americans are mostly out for themselves...but you can't travel the back roads very long without discovering a multitude of gentle people doing good for others with no expectation of gain or recognition."
In this collection of short audio essays, Charles Kuralt takes us from the countryside to the big cities to introduce us to the fascinating people and places that only he could find. Kuralt captures the humor and compassion of ordinary people leading extraordinary lives.
From the best-selling book On the Road with Charles Kuralt, these classic stories represent Kuralt's defining, and perhaps finest, work. Never before released on audio, this collection ensures that his unforgettable voice will be heard by generations to come.

WHAT A LOVELY BOOK. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
IDEA: Let's all go back 50 yrs. in the way we appreciate each other. Charles Kuralt gave us back ourselves - in the best possible, POSITIVE way.

Not What I Expected
Kinda disappointing. The compilation is only a little over an hour. The stories, while told by Kuralt the master, are incredibly short. Much shorter than I remember. Most are only a few minutes long.
Why does title Read Chapter 1? There is only one chapter! It was over before I knew what was coming.

Don't waste your time
This is awful compared to the real audiobook by Charles Kuralt titled "A Life on the road"
which is what I thought I was buying.
The real one is fullof him giving his personal insights.
