Fantastic Facts; Fantastic Read!, July 9, 2008
This review is from: Discovering American History in England: An Illustrated Traveller's Guide (Paperback)
I got this book as a gift for a friend travelling abroad, but after reading through it I had to buy a copy for myself. It's a wonderfully written and beautifully designed book that provides unexpected links between America and England. The book not only explores connections from the early colonial days of America (my favorite fact was that of Squanto) it also links the past to the present with more recent historical figures such as Martin Luther King Jr and JFK.
It's a great gift idea for a friend or for yourself and is a must have for all curious about American or British history.
