Taylor Bruce founded the Wildsam series of American field guides in 2012. His guides incorporate personal essays, local interviews, illustrated maps, and archival anecdotes to capture the living history of some of America s favorite cities including San Francisco, New Orleans, Charleston and Detroit. Selected by National Geographic as a part of the prestigious Traveler 50 list in 2014, the series will expand in summer 2016 to include guides to great American road trips. Previous to starting Wildsam, Taylor s writing appeared in Men s Journal, Paste, and Oxford American, among others.
