Description
In this work, the author discovers that the American character is full of paradoxes. He states that this elusive national character can be found in Americans' faith in moving. He portrays this character through the lives of America's famous and not-so-famous nomads, and facts and statistics.
First Sentence
In the most widely read of American novels, Huckleberry Finn and an escaped slave named Jim float hundreds of miles down the Mississippi River, eluding suspicious and unsavory characters along the way.
