New York Times best-selling author Richard Grant appeared on the podcast back in September when he was in town for the Mississippi Book Festival. The scribe of Dispatches from Pluto was promoting his new book, A Race to the Bottom of Crazy, Dispatches from Arizona. He talked about facing gunmen in the Sierra Madre, Natchez history, why he moved from Mississippi, the Apaches, and some of the more colorful parts of Arizona history. Enjoy the episode.
The book is available in hardcover and Kindle format. Buy at Amazon, Lemeuria Books

I really enjoyed Dispatches from Pluto. I hope that the new book is as accurate a depiction of AZ as Dispatches from Pluto is of the Delta.
LOVED Dispatches from Pluto. LOVED The Deepest South of All. Can't wait to read this one next.
I wonder if he encountered any rednecks in Arizona--
As a native Arizonan, this was so incredibly enjoyable to me.
The George Warren story in the Arizona state seal: just wow; I did not know that (and Arizona history is a hobby of mine).
Southeastern Arizona is so different from Phoenix or the mountains of northern Arizona. Tucson is half Mexico (not an insult; although as a Sun Devil, I do not mind Tucson insults).
The minerals and gems for sale in the Tucson area are out of this world. Bisbee, referenced in the George Warren story, is worth the trip if you can ever get there. The Copper Queen Mine tour is very, very cool.
