The Longest Walk: An Odyssey of the Human Spirit

George Meegan. Paragon House Publishers, $12.95 (402pp) ISBN 978-1-55778-230-4

Meegan walked 19,019 miles over seven years--from the southernmost tip of South America to the Arctic Ocean at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. ``The account of his walk through South and Central America is first-rate adventure, with physical dangers and obstacles surmounted. From Texas to New York and across Canada is a weary trudge, and the final push proves to be anticlimactic,'' noted PW. (Nov.)
