Afoot Along the Big Road by R P Beasley
The narrator writes of walking seven miles from Chadbourn to Whiteville, exploring the sights, encounters, and discipline of pedestrian travel. He notes reactions of drivers, the morality of choosing walking over riding, dog encounters, and reflections on weather, livestock, and rural life. He blends humor with observations on friendliness, effort, and self control.
