EPUB
Description
"Seeds reads like the best of a roundtable discussion amongst John Muir, Bill Bryson, and David Sedaris. From the fields of Gettysburg to the home of Kerouac, Horan takes an unlikely premise and weaves it into a story that's poignant, insightful and unexpectedly humorous. This is more than a book about seedsit's about literary heroes, forensic forestry, and self-discovery." Spike Carlsen, author of A Splintered History of Wood
