An impeccable work by a noted historian

History buffs will find a wealth of unique information by a writer with a special viewpoint and perspective on the nation's history. Many of these pieces have been long out of print, making them a special delight to find here. Ranging from Horgan's descriptions fo the hstory and landscape surrounding the Rio Grande to visits with Stravinsky, this is a complex, rich book. He makes history come alive, recreating the lives and souls of the people who lived before us.
