The newest of my five travel guidebooks to U.S. public lands is American History 101: National Park Service Sites That Made the U.S.A. and it is available for sale on Amazon.com for a limited time price of $15.99.

American History 101 takes you on a journey from the Ice Age through 2001, with at least one stop in each of the 50 states. Selected from the 430+ units in the National Park Service system, these places bring you closer to the people, events, and turning points that made the U.S.A. Presented in chronological order, each entry shares the location’s story and lasting legacy, practical guidance for visiting, and one related site worth exploring. Most historical parks offer free admission, and many put you right where pivotal events unfolded and battles were fought.

I hope my newest guidebook inspires you to hit the road and go on an adventure through the past!

Thank you to all my readers for their support and inspiration! I will post a sample chapter later this week, and keep an eye out for the 3rd edition of my guide to the now 64 National Parks. Adventure on!
