{"product_id":"9780553057034","title":"Education of a Wandering Man","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom his decision to leave school at fifteen to roam the world, to his recollections of life as a hobo on the Southern Pacific Railroad, as a cattle skinner in Texas, as a merchant seaman in Singapore and the West Indies, and as an itinerant bare-knuckled prizefighter across small-town America, here is Louis L'Amour's memoir of his lifelong love affair with learning—from books, from yondering, and from some remarkable men and women—that shaped him as a storyteller and as a man. Like classic L'Amour fiction, \u003ci\u003eEducation of a Wandering Man\u003c\/i\u003e mixes authentic frontier drama—such as the author's desperate efforts to survive a sudden two-day trek across the blazing Mojave desert—with true-life characters like Shanghai waterfront toughs, desert prospectors, and cowboys whom Louis L'Amour met while traveling the globe. At last, in his own words, this is a story of a one-of-a-kind life lived to the fullest . . . a life that inspired the books that will forever enable us to relive our glorious frontier heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47026221973744,"sku":"9780553057034","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780553057034_p0.jpg?v=1763717092","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780553057034","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
