“With open eyes and open heart, Patrick Dobson shows us the heart of the nation.”

--David Shribman, executive editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette; and syndicated columnist with Universal Press

 

“Lighting out for the territories—as Mark Twain would have put it—Patrick Dobson discovers his country, his neighbors, himself. Peter Jenkins (A Walk Across America) meets Robert Pirsig (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance). Seldom Seen inspires the adventurer in me—as it should all of us—to go out and do something similar.”

--Eddy L. Harris, critically acclaimed author of Mississippi Solo: A River Quest, Native Stranger: A Black American’s Journey into the Heart of Africa, South of Haunted Dreams, and Still Life in Harlem

 

 

“This intimate search for self-discovery and renewal is so well told, you'll smell the dew on the morning grass, and you'll know you've found something truly delicious. I've put in more than 100,000 miles, some on these very highways. Dobson paints a clearer portrait with words than I ever captured with cameras. Bravo!”

--Michael Murphy, vice president of programming for Kansas City Public Television (KCPT Channel 19), producer and host of the Rare Visions and Roadside Visions television program and author of the book by the same title
