America in the Original: The Founding Documents, and the Places that Still Hold Them

By Joseph Howard

The parchment still exists. The rooms still stand. The maps still show a country being drawn into being.

America in the Original is a photographic walk through the Charters of Freedom and the places that keep them: Independence Hall, the National Archives, the capital, the Mall, the Liberty Bell - documents first, then the land and the halls around them.

Not a textbook. A coffee-table pilgrimage for Constitution Day through Christmas, built from National Archives scans, Library of Congress Highsmith stills, historic maps, and HABS view.s.Declaration, Constitution, and Bill of Rights in the originalMaps that turned colonies into a nationIndependence Hall and the rooms where the words became lawWashington's seats of powerLiving places - the Bell, the Mall, the streets still in useThe founding is not only a story. It is a set of objects, still on view.
