He also describes the different places he visited and the people he met during his travels.As Paine continues his search for a permanent home, he faces various obstacles, including financial difficulties and the difficulty of finding suitable land to build on. However, he remains determined to achieve his goal and eventually finds a piece of land that he can call his own.Throughout the book, Paine reflects on the importance of having a home and a little hearth and garden, and the joy and satisfaction that comes with owning a piece of land. The book is a testament to the human spirit and the determination to overcome obstacles in pursuit of one’s dreams.Overall, ''From Van Dweller To Commuter'' is a captivating memoir that offers a unique perspective on the concept of home and the importance of finding a place to call one’s own.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
