About the Author/作者介绍: Tod Benoit is an entrepreneur who has logged more than 10,000 miles driving around the country in search of notable graves. He previously spent ten years incarcerated in Corporate America, profoundly disturbed that his biography might someday mirror that of Ivan Ilych’s, as told by Leo Tolstoy. In 1977, he redirected his efforts and has since spent his days on assorted far-flung adventures, from mountain-biking the Continental Drive to hitchhiking the wilds of South America.
