Leaving Whittier: Bicycling Across America in the Summer of Nixon's Discontent

Leaving Whittier tells the stories of two residents of Whittier, California, one who became President and one who lived in obscurity. One whose tenancy was expiring in the Summer of '74, and one who achieved a modest goal in the same season. Two men of different generations who sought to take a measure of the country in that distant year.
