Walkin' the line

William Ecenbarger

2000
Mason And Dixon'S Line United States History

"Bill Ecenbarger has walked as much as humanly possible of the Mason-Dixon line - from its beginnings on Fenwick Island, Delaware, to its end at Brown's Hill, Pennsylvania. All the while he's made side trips, diverting right and left to interview the people who live along its border. Through his travels and conversations he has recorded the testimony of the Mason-Dixon, from past to present, with stunning accuracy.

The resplendent tales the Mason-Dixon tells never fail to shed light on the American experience. Ecenbarger's unique perspective is crucial to an understanding of this country: that of the invisible barrier between North and South - two widely different regions inescapably bound by blood."--BOOK JACKET.
