It was such a blessing to meet Ed Davis, the author of The Last Professional (Releasing January 25, 2022)! The constraints of the past year and a half have stirred up feelings of wanderlust for many. But before the current boom in "van life" and nomadic living, Northern California author and Missouri native Ed Davis rode the rails – hopping box cars and freight trains - from Reno to Vancouver, through the Sierras and up and down the Golden State. As a young man he lived on $5 a day, working as a carny and sleeping under the same bridge Kerouac once did. He and his friends, the "knights of the road" experienced a world that no longer exists. An Instagram life before there was ever such a thing. These tracks across the country eventually led Ed to become a successful businessman, a champion discus thrower, and a loving husband to his wife Jan. From this uniquely American experience, Davis brings us his latest book—The Last Professional—a tale of two men linked by a yearning to go, wander, and experience a simpler way of living. In the vein of Kerouac and London, Davis paints a rich tapestry of life on the move where adventure is truly just a freight car away.
