    About this ebook

    In this color edition of Every Step Together on the Camino de Santiago, Ken and Kathy Privratsky detail their experience in walking the famous pilgrimage trail known as the Camino Francés. They took on this challenge to celebrate their 70th birthdays, knowing that they would be among the oldest on the trail and could confront additional obstacles. They explain how they trained in hills around their home in Anchorage, Alaska and choices they made regarding what to take and how to get to Saint Jean Pied de Port, France, the traditional start point for about 30,000 pilgrims annually. Then readers go with them during their daily walks, first about 500 miles over 38 days to reach the sacred city of Santiago and then another 60 miles over 6 days to villages on the Atlantic coast, where they spread ashes of loved ones onto the ocean. Readers follow in their footsteps day after day, experiencing the Camino as if they too were there crossing regions of northern Spain diverse in culture and rich with history and legend. Readers walk with them across vast countrysides, through large cities and tiny villages, inside small chapels and magnificent cathedrals, discovering these regions as if they were with the authors. Ken and Kathy provide a map of where they walked with a chart of distances traveled daily and include hundreds of pictures revealing the beauty, history, friendships, and challenges they experienced along the way. They conclude with suggestions for those interested in their own pilgrimage, lists of what they read, where they stayed, and what they carried, as well as some statistics regarding the Camino. Their commitment to each other over this journey was simple: "to take every step together." Their story will inspire others to follow in their footsteps.

    Ken Privratsky

    Ken Privratsky was born and raised in Spokane, Washington. After graduating from Eastern Washington University, he served over three decades in the U.S. Army and rose to the rank of major general. He earned multiple graduate degrees and received an honorary doctorate from his alma mater. He has edited or authored several books, including a best-selling history published by Pen & Sword, Logistics in the Falklands War, which is recommended reading for U.S. Marines and other military services around the world. In 2023, Pen & Sword published his latest history, The Norwegian Merchant Fleet in the Second World War, the first book written in English about Norway's vital help to the Allies. Ken and his wife, Kathy, live in Alaska but travel widely. Spain has become one of their favorite countries to visit. They co-authored the book Every Step Together on the Camino de Santiago after their first of three walks across Spain on the Camino. Those walks became the inspiration for Revenge on the Camino, published in 2021, the first book in a trilogy. Revenge on the Camino Dos is the second book. The third book currently is in the works. Ken and Kathy will be walking the Camino again in 2025.
