An Embarrassment of Riches

by James Howard Kunstler

Overview

A picaresque novel of the American West in 1803. An historical comedy about two bumbling botanists sent into the southern wilderness by Thomas Jefferson to look for something that isn't there. A novel in the spirit of Lewis and Clark (who make cameo appearences). Replete with wild Indians, river pirates, the kidnapped son of King Louis XVI, the lost colony of Roanoke, and much more. A non-stop romp full of life and humor and the sensibility of early America.

In the tradition of Mark Twain, an origional true adventure including historical figures. Enchanting story in the wild with excentric characters. Very unque! How does the author think this stuff up?
