Ex-comic and disillusioned working actor, Kevin West decided to forgo depression by traveling 20,000 miles in circles around the continental United States looking for the places his great great grandfather - Maj. Marion West - bedded down. What the naive Kevin West found was that he really didn't need to define himself by the exploits of his Civil War relative, but that he is a damn good photographer with some quirky stories to tell. He also discovered that action is one antidote for a tight-ass grip on life. Foreword by Eve Plumb of The Brady Bunch.
