Description:

National Geographic sent 14 researchers to assess America's historic and prehistoric sites, culminating in more than 2,500 restorations, battlefields, colonial villages, and other relics of the country's glorious and notorious past--with directions, maps, driving and walking tours, and 250 sensational pictures. The sites include standards (Lincoln Memorial, sculpted by Daniel Chester French in 1922, for instance) and lesser-known secrets (such as Mary Todd Lincoln's House in Lexington, Kentucky, where she lived from 1832-1839). This volume is an uncharted national treasure for the vacationing history buff, and is also a fine pictorial reference for the desk-bound student.
