We Americans : celebrating a nation, its people, and its past / edited by Thomas B. Allen and Charles O. Hyman ; introduction by Spencer R. Crew.
From the first European explorers to reach our shores and the natives who met them there to the last years of the 20th century, American shave tapped a unique, umistakable spirit that somehow has always encompassed a multitude of backgrounds, beliefs, and aspirations. In this visually breathtaking volume, over a dozen respected writers and historians explore the events, personalities, inventions, and ideas that have made us who we are. Featuring 400 remarkable photographs and illustrations, many drawn from National Geographic's extraordinary archives, this evocative chronicle of our past is an eloquent portrait of a people, and an irresistible celebration of America and Americans-as we were, as we are, and as we hope to be.
