Smith's journey begins in the small town of Willow Creek, Nebraska. Once a thriving railroad town, Willow Creek is now a shadow of its former self. The population has dwindled, the businesses have closed, and the streets are empty. But Smith finds that the spirit of the town is still alive in the hearts of the people who remain.

From Willow Creek, Smith travels west to the Black Hills of South Dakota. Here, he meets a group of Lakota Sioux who are fighting to protect their sacred land from a proposed gold mine. Smith learns about the Lakota's rich culture and their deep connection to the land. He also witnesses the challenges they face as they try to preserve their way of life in the modern world.

Smith's journey continues through the deserts of the Southwest, the mountains of Colorado, and the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Along the way, he meets a cast of characters who are as diverse as the landscape itself. There's the grizzled old cowboy who has spent his life on the range, the young woman who is starting a new life in a small town, and the Native American artist who is using his art to tell the stories of his people.

Through his encounters with these people, Smith gains a new understanding of the American experience. He learns that there is more to America than just the big cities and the well-traveled tourist destinations. There is a hidden America, a place where the old ways still survive and where the spirit of adventure still burns bright.

In Seek Reports From The Edges Of America Beyond, John Smith offers a unique and unforgettable portrait of America. This is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it. It is a book that will make you think about the people and places that make up our nation, and it will inspire you to explore the hidden corners of America for yourself.
