Here Is Where: Discovering America's Great Forgotten History
Andrew Carroll (2013)



Author Andrew Carroll takes readers on an eye-opening and entertaining grand tour of America in this lively exploration of lesser-known or overlooked historical sites. From birthplaces to gravesites and high points to low, from those that inspired inventions to those that sparked change, he leaves no stone unturned or landmark unvisited. Bite-sized chapters focusing on a specific destination as well as Carroll's own personal journey make this an addictive experience—each entry sheds a little more light on the people and locations we've forgotten.
