[Anne Marie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Obviously I did not read this book cover to cover in a day. But I looked at the pictures spanning across the United States. The biggest problem with this book one will have is it was published in 1963. So the pictures are not the best, or clearest. Some are in color, most are black and white. Many natural relics or scenes from National Parks are best if viewed on the internet. Probably one of the most fascinating facts one will learn from this book is how the United States has changed over time from when the pictures were taken.
