About me

Introduction After four years in the retail wine world of Chicago I'm packing it up and moving to Phoenix, Arizona. To get out there I'm driving the route of seminal Southwest writer and journalist Charles Lummis, who walked from Ohio to Los Angeles in 1884-85. Using Lummis's Letters from the Southwest as my guide, I'll retrace his path and share what I find in the West of 2010. Please email me with suggestions, advice and information.
Favorite Books Charles F. Lummis's Letters from the Southwest, Mark Thompson's The Curious Life of Charles Fletcher Lummis
