American Historic Places is the first resource to turn the study of historic sites into thematically organized books for students. Emphasizing multicultural themes, each volume guides the reader through ten to twelve history-rich locations selected to bring out the interdisciplinary nature of this type of study. Sites are recreated with photos, diagrams, and narratives, allowing readers to experience and explore places through pictures and words.Whether it's a writer's study, a famous laboratory, or a civil rights meeting place, each location opens an intimate window into America's past lives and diverse cultures. The books offer fascinating reading, and are excellent springboards for interdisciplinary student projects. Every site featured can be visited today.
