American Panorama East of the Mississippi

Doubleday and Company, 1960. hardcover. 8vo 465pp. from front flap: "The "Cradle of American Liberty" --the deep South--the Great Lakes Area--the Kentucky Mountain country--all are part of the wonderfully varied American East. Here is the land and the people who populate it. The rock-hard lobsterman battling weather and sea off Maine's icy coasts; the gentleman-farmer riding to the hounds in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley; the woodsman working to protect Wisconsin's mighty forest areas. Here are memorable portraits of the twenty-six states east of the Mississippi--their past and present as well as a new look at our nation's capital. These portraits, painted in words by some of America's finest writers have been part of a continuing and searching look at our country which the editors of HOLIDAY have been producing ever since the magazine was first founded." very good: toning to paste downs and endpapers, mild shelf wear to boards. / very good, mild edge and corner wear, NOT clipped ($5.00).
