| Summary, Etc. |
"From the birth of the nation in Philadelphia to Disneyland and the California dream, This Land Is Your Land offers a guided tour of thirteen places and thirteen key moments that define America's greatest successes and challenges. The year 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, a document that proclaimed the liberty and equality of all human beings but produced a country that often failed to agree upon -- or live up to -- those ideals. This Land Is Your Land is for everyone who wants to find that history--to experience it, confront it, celebrate it, and condemn it -- in the places where it happened"-- Back cover.
