This review is from: Exploring & Mapping American West (Cornerstones of Freedom) (Paperback)
My little geography nut loves this one. We are an Arizona family and we take long road trips every summer - maps are a huge deal to one of my sons. He enjoys this book's very tiny reproductions of centuries-old maps of the American west - I could wish for larger photographs in this book.
