American Scenery, Vol. 2

Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

Although the focus of this book is the engravings depicting scenic sites of 19th century America, each is accompanied by a short description of the site and location. These vignettes give us rare glimpses of scenic locations as they appeared in 1840. All sites are in the eastern part of the United States, especially New England and New York. This is Volume Two of a two-volume set. - Summary by Larry Wilson

The Book Coordinators for this project were Larry Wilson and Linette Geisel (5 hr 5 min)
