I failed to include some text, including a link for proper attribution, that I should have included in the description of William Least Heat-Moon. Sorry about that. Here's a revised description.
William Least Heat-Moon <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Least_Heat-Moon> “is an American travel writer and historian of English, Irish, and Osage ancestry”. He earned a Ph.D. in English from the University of Missouri and worked as a professor of English. He wrote an autobiographical travel book, *Blue Highways*, that was well received. According to the article about the article about *Blue Highways* <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Highways>, "Stories that arose from Least Heat-Moon's research as well as historical facts are included about each area visited, as well as conversations with characters such as a Seventh-day Adventist evangelist hitchhiker, a teenage runaway, a boat builder, a monk, an Appalachian log cabin restorer, a rural Nevada prostitute, fishermen, a Hopi Native American medical student, owners of western saloons and remote country stores, a maple syrup farmer, and Chesapeake Bay island dwellers.” Pine ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pine ) _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
