"As I've traveled our great country, I have been struck again and again
by its beauty and variety and reminded of how rich our history is.
Travel a few miles in any direction, and you'll encounter an amazing
story that helps explain all the multitude of ways our country came to
be." -- Lynne Cheney
Lynne Cheney and Robin Preiss Glasser, creators of the bestselling
America: A Patriotic Primer and A is for Abigail: An Almanac of
Amazing American Women, take you on an unforgettable tour of America --
from the Everglades of Florida to the grasslands of Kentucky to the
Sierra Mountains of California.
Listening to her grandchildren's enthusiastic account of all they saw
and did on a family road trip inspired Lynne Cheney to collaborate with
Robin Preiss Glasser and create Our 50 States -- the greatest family
vacation imaginable. Pack your bags and celebrate our diverse heritage
state by state and sea to shining sea in this treasure trove of
America's people, places, and history.
A scholar of American history, Mrs. Cheney has drawn on a lifetime of
study and travel for Our 50 States. Robin Preiss Glasser has brought
her inimitable wit and exuberance to every illustration. Together they
have created a joyful book that reminds us how fortunate we are to call
America our home.
