The American Revolution: Official National Park Service Handbook
At America’s national parks, the Revolution awaits rediscovery!
The essays within The American Revolution: Official National Park Service Handbook help with this rediscovery. Eminent historians dissect the conflict from a variety of scholarly points of view and invite exploration not only of national origins but also of the Revolution’s complexity, relevance, legacy, and its ever-evolving place in national memory.
This handbook also includes listings of the national park sites that interpret this era—sites that offer the most tangible links between past and present. Full-color photos within the book illustrate the richness of the collections entrusted to the National Park Service, from familiar icons to the surprising treasures of lesser-known parks. Useful chronologies place events into context, while the liberal use of quotations captures the diversity of revolutionary America and the uncertainty of the times.
Commemorate 250 years of independence by adding this handbook to your library and rediscover yourself and the United States at the national parks of the American Revolution!
