James Anthony The Slow Road to Deadhorse: An Englishman's Discoveries and

The community of Deadhorse, Alaska (population 25) lies 250 miles north of the Arctic Circle, at the northern terminus of the PanAmerican Highway, the longest road in the world. Key West, Florida, sits at the southern tip of the Florida Keys, an archipelago of coral islands jutting into the Caribbean warmth of the Mexican Gulf. Between Key West and Deadhorse lies most of North America. Londoner James Anthony decided to drive between the two, adjusting his GPS settings to avoid highways, letting an inanimate piece of technology guide him leftright through the byways, back roads, country lanes and mountain passes of this vast continent. Along the way, he was serenaded in an AfricanAmerican Church in Miami went peanut farming in Georgia hitched a ferry ride across the Mississippi with moonshinedrinking locals got drunk with a North Dakotan farmer who had three months to live survived a haunting in Saskatchewan was nearly squashed by an irate buffalo in the Northern Rockies and arrived at the Arctic Ocean just before freezeup. Part travelogue, history, social commentary, and goodtime escapism, The Slow Road to Deadhorse chronicles an Englishmans roadtrip through the North America most people never get to see. | James Anthony The Slow Road to Deadhorse: An Englishman's Discoveries and
