Hippocrene U.S.A. Guide to Exploring the American West
Author: Gerald Lee Gutek
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Covering 29 sites in seven western states, this travel guide also serves as a popular history of the West. In addition to being easy to read, it gives thorough descriptions of the history of each location and the significance of each structure on it, and supplies the traveler with address, phone numbers, hours, admission, and facilities for the site, as well as addresses and phone numbers of nearby motels, inns, resorts, and camping. This volume invites comparison with Kent Ruth's "Landmarks of the West", which covers 150 historic landmarks in 21 states but does not include the tourist data. The Guteks cover only museum villages but include longer historical narratives. This is a wonderful source of historical information for upper grade students, as well as a gold mine for travelers.
