LIFE America Revealed: Tracing Our History Beneath the Surface and Behind the Scenes

By LIFE

Book Overview

In America Revealed, LIFE's editors explain the subtleties of our country's history with stunning, often beautiful and constantly surprising photography. Its pictures present the generally invisible history of common folks, and of hidden aspects behind conventionally great events. _ Places where the dinosaurs roamed and the first Americans walked are examined, as are sites of deep significance. _ Discover Walden Pond, Jefferson's schoolhouse, and a serene nook in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania - a nice place to find some summer shade-that was once a den of horror, and then-and-now photographs tell the tale.
