Thank you for the Wyckoff reference. I have since (reading it this morning) powered my way through both “East” and “West”!
Amazingly well written, insightful and full of real humanity without the slobbering, cowardly leftism that infects so much current “sociology”. I literally could not stop reading those books.
Thanks again for the cite!
I was similarly taken and admired the man so much that my wife and I retraced his travels in 2003. I took pictures of each town as it looks today and compared it to a period post card, along with some snippet from the book.
After a couple of Twilight Zone instances, I decided to set up a website in his honor. To start, click on his photo HERE.
