Overview
This volume presents a unique opportunity to tour and relive American history, not only in words but also in stunningly evocative photography. These powerful images conjure up a feeling for the past and provide a sense of historical continuity from the nation's early war-torn days, expressed in sites such as Valley Forge and Gettysburg, to the late- nineteenth-century era of prosperity and renewed optimism embodied in the opulent mansions of Gilded Age millionaires.
Traveling across the United States, region by region, this survey explores such significant landmarks as:
-- Forts, battlefields, and war memorials
-- Presidential homes and monuments
-- Legendary sites from the days of the early settlers and pioneers
-- Haunting remains of Native American cultures
-- Residences and extravagant summer homes of prominent Americans
For the history buff, the student, and those wishing to re-acquaint themselves with the American story on a dynamic and visual level, here is the all-in-one volume that presents the past with authoritative historical facts and inspiring imagery .
