Neil King Jr's desire to walk from Washington DC to New York City began as a whim and soon became an obsession. By the spring of 2021, events had intervened that gave his desire greater urgency: A life-threatening bout with cancer. Political convulsions over a fraught election and our origins as a nation. A pandemic that shut down normal life and made social distance a virtue. King embarked on a 25 day journey through historic battlefields and cemeteries, over the Mason-Dixon line, past Quaker and Amish farms, along Valley Forge streambeds and more on his way to Central Park. American Ramble offers an exquisite account of personal and national renewal- an indelible study of our country as we've never seen it before.
