Routes 'n Roots

: An Explorer's Guide to America

By: Janus Adams

Narrated by: Janus Adams, Muriel Tuitt, Hattie Winston, Robert Northern

A BackPax® Adventure. America the Beautiful. It just may be the most exciting country in the world. There isn't a food or face, language or lifestyle that can't be found here. All you have to do is listen to this all-American family album: a Native American powwow, a New England family pilgrimage, a car-trip from South Dakota to Montana retracing the thousand-mile covered wagon route detailed in their "Grandma's Diary" a century earlier; migration stories from Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. Celebrate America. Celebrate our Roots and Routes. Recorded on location from Maine to New Mexico. Perfect for BackPax trailblazers 8 and older.©1986 BackPax International (P)2009 Janus Adams LLC
