title: The Complete Katy Trail Guidebook (Show Me Series)
author:  Brett Dufur 
description: "Dufur seems to have picked up a few pointers from William Least Heat Moon, whose "Blue Highways" and "PrairyErth" achieve depth through historical anecdotes and colorful character descriptions . . . For day-trippers as well as long-distance bikers and hikers, the Katy Trail Guidebook is a worthwhile investment. They will do well to make room for it in an easily accessible pocket." -- <i>Christopher Ryan, Ozark Sierran</i><br /><br />"Dufur's guide gives a feel for the towns with his insightful descriptions and photographs. He uses imagery to portray what is to be found there." -- <i>Veronica Del Real, Missourian Weekend</i><br /><br />"Dufur, a reporter by schooling, has an eye for stories. . . . And after a long jaunt through Latin America, he knows the value of a good guidebook. " -- <i>Lisa Groshong, Columbia Daily Tribune</i><br /><br />"The Katy Trail Guidebook is a 'must have' for anyone interested in our Missouri heritage. The book is more than a guidebook for bicyclists and walkers
