Download or read book Historic Landmarks of America as Seen and Described by Famous Writers written by Esther Singleton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Landmarks of America as Seen and Described by Famous Writers One of the most striking features of American history is the fact that the greater number of important events have occurred amidst bold and beautiful scenery. It has, therefore, been my aim to present in this volume, a number of the most picturesque and important pilgrimage places in America - places that are doubly famous for their beauty and historical associations. It would be impossible to include within the covers of a small book every scene that justifies the name of a Landmark of American History. I have, therefore, in my selections, endeavoured to take the reader on as long and varied a trip as possible, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast, from Canada to Mexico, from Maine to Florida, and down the Mississippi from the Great Lakes to New Orleans, not omitting a few inland towns such as Mexico and Santa Fe, Denver and Chicago, that represent the oldest and the newest phases of civilization in the Western Hemisphere. I have also ventured to include a short description of my own of a town of entirely different type - the much neglected, but very charming, remnant of Colonial days - Annapolis. In addition to cities, I have included lakes, bays, straits, mountains, islands, harbours, plains, and rivers that have formed the stage-setting for most dramatic episodes.
