In "Press On" readers will roam the world with Chuck Yeager in search of adventure: from a close brush with death in a remote corner of New Zealand; to backpacking at 14,000 feet in the high Sierras; fly-casting in Scotland; deer hunting in Texas; and catching a 267-pound Alaskan halibut--on a forty-pound test line. Travel back with him to his roots among the rough-hewn, honest mountain folk of West Virginia and the remarkable people and experiences that influence him to this day. Here is life as only Chuck Yeager can live it, with anecdotes and insights from his best friends, flying buddies, family, and his wife of more than forty years. Here is the real Chuck Yeager, a man in his sixties who still lives life on the edge, facing new challenges and risks with an indefatigable spirit of adventure that can be summed up in one simple phrase: Press on!
