Essential Historic Sites Across the U.S.

Acclaimed prize-winning author David McCullough and expert historian Brent D. Glass, Director Emeritus of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, discuss the importance of experiencing and preserving our essential historic sites and their stories: compelling struggles of democracy and self-government; the dramatic impact of military conflict; the powerful role of innovation and enterprise; the inspiring achievements of diverse cultural traditions; and the defining influence of the land and its resources. The book 50 Great American Places: Essential Historic Sites Across the U.S. (2016), written by Glass with a foreword by McCullough, is a one-of-a-kind guide to fifty of these places - including Boston and sites on the Freedom Trail and Black Heritage Trail - that reveal a national narrative that is often surprising, sometimes tragic, and always engaging.
