Ten Million Steps: Nimblewill Nomad's Epic 10-Month Trek from the Florida Keys to Québec First Trade Paper Edition

Best known by his trail name, Nimblewill Nomad, M. J. Eberhart, the son of a country doctor, grew up in a little village in the Ozark Highlands of Missouri. He’s an Armed Forces veteran. After serving, he settled in as the senior practitioner in a busy three-doctor optometric practice in Florida. He’s divorced, has two sons, Jay and Jon, and two dear granddaughters, Jillian Amber (Jay and Theresa) and Mia Simone (Jon and Terri). He now resides near his childhood home with his schoolmate and sweetheart, Dwinda. Eb, as most off-trail friends know him, began hiking and backpacking in the early ’80s. Always an avid outdoorsman, now retired, he’s making up for lost time after being cooped up in examination rooms with no windows for nearly 30 years.
