SUMMARY:An Evening with Isaac Fitzgerald\, Author of American Rambler: Wa
 lking the Trail of Johnny Appleseed\, A Ferguson Celebrates the USA at 2
 50 Program
DESCRIPTION:An evening with author Isaac Fitzgerald\, who will discuss hi
 s book American Rambler: Walking the Trail of Johnny Appleseed. As a chi
 ld\, Isaac Fitzgerald was captivated by Johnny Appleseed\, drawn to the 
 legend by family ties\, his father’s larger-than-life stories\, and a sh
 ared restlessness to leave home and discover what lay beyond. In America
 n Rambler\, he sets out on a year-long journey to follow Appleseed’s pat
 h\, walking\, sometimes driving\, and at one point\, even floating downs
 tream\, from Massachusetts to Indiana. On this journey\, Fitzgerald turn
 s a childhood fascination into a profound reckoning of loss and grief\, 
 ritual and faith\, grimy gas station bathrooms and scenic apple picking.
  He is followed by a mysterious creature\, camps in hostile environments
 \, trespasses more than once\, and is warmed by the generosity of strang
 ers at every turn. A moving blend of memoir\, history\, and travelogue\,
  American Rambler is at once an ode to the American heartland\, a medita
 tion on escaping the breakneck pace of modern life\, and a clear-eyed lo
 ok at the myths—often violent\, sometimes hopeful\, frequently romantici
 zed—at the very core of American identity and history. Book sale and sig
 ning to follow presentation. Registration required. Isaac Fitzgerald is 
 The New York Times bestselling author of Dirtbag\, Massachusetts\, winne
 r of a New England Book Award and the New Atlantic Independent Bookselle
 rs Association Book of the Year Award. A frequent contributor on The Tod
 ay Show\, he is also the author of the bestselling children’s book\, How
  to Be a Pirate\, as well as the co-author of Pen & Ink: Tattoos and the
  Stories Behind Them and Knives & Ink: Chefs and the Stories Behind Thei
 r Tattoos (winner of an IACP Award). His writing has appeared in The New
  York Times\, The Atlantic\, Esquire\, GQ\, The Guardian\, The Best Amer
 ican Nonrequired Reading\, and numerous other publications. He lives wit
 h his wife and their two dogs on the North Fork of Long Island.\n\nMore
