‘American Rambler: Walking the Trail of Johnny Appleseed’ With Isaac Fitzgerald

Anthony is joined by Dirtbag, Massachusetts author and Today correspondent Isaac Fitzgerald to discuss his new memoir, American Rambler: Walking the Trail of Johnny Appleseed. The guys explore Isaac’s journey following in the footsteps of Johnny Appleseed, separating legend from fact, and the case for nonfiction. They also discuss why the book is a love letter to Isaac’s mom and what makes it “a grief memoir in reverse.”
