Tom Miller's On the Border frames the land betwe…en the United States and Mexico as a Third Country, one 2,000 miles long and twenty miles wide. This Third Country has its own laws and its own outlaws. Its music, language, and food are unique. On the Border, a first-person travel narrative, portrays this bi-national culture. - Amazon. Tom Miller (August 11, 1947, in Washington, D.C. - December 19, 2022, in Tucson, Arizona) was an American author primarily known for travel literature. His ten books include The Panama Hat Trail, On the Border, Trading with the Enemy, and Jack Ruby's Kitchen Sink (later rereleased as Revenge of the Saguaro). He has written articles for the New York Times, Washington Post, The New Yorker, The Smithsonian, Natural History, Rolling Stone, Life, Crawdaddy and many other magazines. An offbeat 1975 article Miller wrote for Crawdaddy about the Kennedy Assassination was read by a literary agent who insisted it could be expanded into a full-length book.[1] This became The Assassination Please Almanac, his first book, whose cover blurb called it "a consumer's guide to conspiracy theories." Life on the southern U.S. border inspired his first travel book: On the Border: Portraits of America's Southwestern Frontier. He traveled the full 2,000 mile length of the United States-Mexico border interviewing its denizens. Tom Miller's On the Border frames the land between the United States and Mexico as a Third Country, one 2,000 miles long and twenty miles wide. This Third Country has its own laws and its own outlaws. Its music, language, and food are unique. On the Border, a first-person travel narrative, portrays this bi-national culture, "unforgettable to every reader lucky enough to discover this gem of southwestern Americana." (San Diego Union-Tribune) It's a "deftly written book," said the New Times Book Review. "Mr. Miller has drawn a lively sketch of this unruly, unpredictable place." Traveling from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean, Miller offers "cultural history and fine journalism." (Dallas Times Herald) Among his stops is Rosa's Cantina in El Paso, the Arizona site where a rancher sadistically tortured three Mexican campesinos, and the 100,000-watt XERF radio station where Wolfman Jack broadcasts nightly. He interviews children in both countries, all of whom insist that the candy on the other side is superior. On the Border, translated into Spanish, French, and Japanese, was the first book to identify and describe this land as a Third Country. Miller "knows this country," says Newsday, "feels its joys and sorrows, hears its music and loves its soul.". First U.S. Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Jean Paul Tremblay (Maps) and Timothy Fuller (Auth (illustrator).
