America's Hidden Corners, Places Off the Beaten Path

by National Geographic Society

America's hidden corners -- a phrase that conjures images of a backwoods haunt or a village nestled in a mountain fastness. Such places sill abound, and seven teams of National Geographic writers and photographers set out to find a few of them. What they discovered, in areas beyond the sprawl of the urbanized nation, was a colorful tapestry of people and places.
