Written in stone...

The 4^th of July and fireworks have put me into a patriotic frame of mind. I loved watching the celebrations with various memorial buildings in the background. I enjoyed the old American songs and the many references to historical events and places. While many of us have visited Gettysburg and the Statue of Liberty, some have to rely on other sources to get there. Monuments: America’s History in Art and Memory by Judith Dupre is a wonderful guide. Many significant American monuments are featured in this book.  Location, designer and dedication information are also listed. For a monumental look at American history, give it a try. DB
