About
Cesar A. Becerra is a historian, writer of five books, and adventurer whose projects and expeditions have been covered in major newspapers around the United States. He is Cuban American and has articles with a big focus on the Everglades where The Miami Herald named him an 'Everglades Evangelist' and The New Times called him 'Miami's Most Peripatetic Historian'.
Born in Miami to Cuban parents, in 1998 he honored his heritage by publishing an award-winning full color weekly journal entitled 'Cuban Dreams,' which focused on the Centennial of the Spanish American War that impacted the Cuba and Puerto Rico but the Caribbean as a whole.
In 1999, he took a 51,000-mile road through all 50 states in one calendar year, which ended up as a documentary that aired nationally on The Travel Channel. In 2000 he hiked the 2,160-mile Appalachian Trail in a year and a half through all 4 seasons with the smallest dog to hike the venerable trail that winds its way through 14 states from Maine to Georgia. Since 2004, he has hiked from Key West to Phoenix on his quest to walk across the United States east to west.
Cesar’s love for the past and sense of adventure is where his two world’s unite. He has a penchant for hidden history and knows no boundaries or distances when it comes to searching for it.
