About the Author

Words of wisdom:

"Be mindful of the wind."

"Never take a knife to a gunfight."

"Don't ride in storms with names."

"Be reverent of the roadkill; it could be you."

"Don't never climb on nothin' you can't ride."

"Just because I'm funny lookin', it don't mean I'm stupid."

Take a BMW motorcycle, one million miles, and Mark Edmonds. Distill for thirty-five years. Result? You get an insightful,
compassionate and passionate view of America and what it means to all of us who, after all, are "just passing through."
From a slum in Detroit to a backwoods Alabama church, you'll breathe the air of what it means to be America-the lovely
and the not-so lovely. Dr. Edmonds' assessment of this country and the changes it's undergone remains as unswerving
as his assessment of himself as he rides his own pilgrimage, just passin' through.
