Description

Great Plains by Ian Frazier - National Bestseller

This national bestseller takes readers on an extraordinary journey across America's heartland. Ian Frazier traveled more than 25,000 miles up and down the vast Great Plains, creating a work that functions simultaneously as a travelogue, scholarly exploration, and western adventure.

The narrative guides readers from Sitting Bull's cabin to locations terrorized by Bonnie and Clyde, and to the Kansas farmhouse featured in Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. Frazier's approach combines intrepidity with humor and genuine curiosity, revealing the authentic heart of the American West that most travelers only glimpse from 30,000 feet.

What Makes This Book Distinctive

Rather than presenting a conventional travel guide, Frazier delivers an immersive exploration of the Great Plains region. The book documents the mythology, history, and contemporary reality of this often-overlooked American landscape. His writing style balances scholarly research with accessible storytelling, making complex regional history engaging for general readers.

About the Journey

The 25,000-mile expedition covers the breadth of the Great Plains, from historical sites to abandoned structures that witnessed pivotal American moments. Frazier's observations capture both the physical geography and cultural significance of the region, offering readers insights into the area's role in shaping American identity.
