The American Heritage Book of Great Historic Places (1973) Richard Ketchum. Condition of dust jacket is poor; condition of book is good. Dust jacket has rips and has been taped. Covers and pages of book are in good to very good condition.
This magnificently illustrated volume is both a new kind of history and a guide to the historic riches that are to be seen in our own country.
Here, for the first time, is a pictorial history of America in terms of the places where history was made-places that you can visit today.
More than 470 pictures (126 of them in full color), with 100,000 words of narrative, put you on the scene where history actually hap-pened, tell you the story of our national past, and guide you to the most rewarding places to visit.
The book is divided into nine geographic sections, each abundantly illustrated with rare photographs, eyewitness paintings, drawings, engravings, and sketches.
