"Follows and recreates an immense family journey, in search of a new life and a miracle doctor who could cure the blindness of one of their number. The journey was taken largely on foot from England in the 1880s, to Liverpool, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and back again. Written as travelogue and as a history of one of the great neglected subjects - the New World immigrants who returned home to the Old, Walking to America is a personal tale, full of characterisation and human stories, based upon received lore, followed footsteps and careful historical research."--Publisher's description.
