America's Sights and Symbols
The symbols of our country are easy to recognize, but their significance is not as widely known. Icons such as the American flag, the Hoover Dam, and the Lincoln Memorial stand for our nation's pride, ingenuity, and courage...and these qualities stem directly from real events in American history! Each title in this enlightening series offers the complete story of one important symbol, landmark, or destination in the United States, providing historical illustrations and essential information for social studies students. Additional features include a table of contents, sidebars, infographics, Fast Facts, critical-thinking questions, a phonetic glossary, an index, and sources for further research.
