Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Along the 175-mile stretch from Monticello to GettysburgÂdesignated by Congress as the official "birthplace of America"Âintriguing details of our nationâs past emerge from every town and byway. This beautiful book spotlights key places and personalities on the route, revealing insidersâ stories of early America.
The creative teamÂrenowned author Andrew Cockburn, along with National Geographic photographer Kenneth Garrett and Pulitzer Prize winning author Geraldine BrooksÂwill garner nationwide attention with this masterwork of history and heritage. Cockburnâs textured prose details the development of the American character through explorations of Native American burial grounds and little-known battlefields; legends of heroes, spies, and wartime romances; breathtaking secrets of the Underground Railroad; and the sagas of seven presidents who lived in the region. Interwoven is the story of the remarkable nonprofit organization, the Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership, which is innovating sustainable economic development to support historic preservation, as covered by the Washington Post, Smithsonian and the New York Times.
In light of recent mega-sellers on Americaâs founding fathers, this book will draw audiences who snap up works by Geraldine Brooks, David McCullough, James McPherson, and Joseph Ellis.
