Klappentext
Pulitzer Prize--winning author of G-Man and acclaimed historian Beverly Gage takes the ultimate road trip into the American past.
Ride along with Pulitzer Prize--winning historian Beverly Gage as she travels the country to see the museums, historic sites, roadside attractions, reenactments, and souvenir shops where Americans learn---and fight---about our history. From the birth of the nation in Philadelphia to Disneyland and the California dream, This Land Is Your Land offers a guided tour of thirteen places and thirteen key moments that define America's greatest successes and challenges.
The year 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, a document that proclaimed the liberty and equality of all human beings, but produced a country that often failed to agree upon---or live up to---those ideals. This Land Is Your Land is for everyone who wants to find that history---to experience it and confront it, to celebrate it and condemn it---in the places where it happened.
In our fraught moment for American patriotism, Gage shows that Americans can face their past and still love their country. Toss the book in the back seat---or listen on audio with the windows down---and join the journey.
