R. J. Schweiger is eighty-one years old. He has traveled many paths during his lifetime, but he always seemed to end up on horseback. Among other things, Mr. Bob has been a freelance writer. He has written articles for The American Field, The Western Horseman, and Gun Dog. His involvement in field trials and horse shows meant extensive travel, and it wasnt unusual for him to log thirty thousand miles a year on the road. His equipment was well worn, and every trip was an adventure. Mr. Bobs exploits have earned him a Life Patrons Award from the National Bird Dog Foundation in Grand Junction, Tennessee, and a Charter Membership in an international organization called the Long Riders Guild, which is based in France. Mr. Bob moved to Alabama in 1989 with plans to just make it his winter home. But now he has settled down permanently in the town of Hurtsboro, where he has served as a constable. He now serves as a special deputy sheriff in Russell County.

On 23 September 1878 Stevenson set out from Le Monastier in the Haut Loire, to tramp through the wild region of the Cevennes. His only companion was a small donkey to carry basic necessities, and a commodious "sleeping sack". In the next 12 days, at a pace dictated by the donkey and carrying most of the supplies himself, he travelled 120 miles across rivers, mountains and forests. His stylish and witty account was published in 1879.
