Description

J. Kingston Pierce (au); Tom Bodett (fr). Bodett leads viewers & readers down half-remembered byways in the American past that are still surprisingly reachable today. Since the days of the earliest explorers, Americans have set out for new territories, always looking to better their lot in life. This guide follows the trails taken by Spanish soldiers, patriots riding to the Constitutional Convention in Phila., Daniel Boone, slaves escaping via the Underground Railway, Quakers & Mormons, adventurers & fortune-seekers drawn by gold fever to California & Alaska. These colorful characters, their struggles & triumphs, are recalled in this richly told history with dozens of evocative drawings & photos. Detailed maps & travel advice help readers retrace the same paths.
