For more than 30 years, Charles Kuralt, the host of CBS News'' "Sunday Morning," has traveled the world''s byways. In this warm, deeply affecting memoir, Kuralt retraces the steps of a journey that began when he was a young CBS news reporter frantically trying to cover international events, a journey that took him to South America, Vietnam, and the Okefenokee Swamp.
