Description |
Underfoot: An Everyday Guide to Exploring the American Past by David Weitzman Published by Charles Scribner's Sons Includes index. Bibliography: p. 188. Illustrations Historical Buildings Architecture Verbal history Our Ancestors From the back cover: I found Underfoot perfectly delightful; a judicious mixture of fascinating, evocative, original materials and shrewd practical advice for the explorer, child or adult, who has been or would be stimulated to delve into the past. The book is in step with the various Bicentennial projects on kin and community, family histories, archaeology above ground, and expeditions into the treasure trove of family photographs and home movies. It should delight, instruct and support a generation of those who realize that if we are to face the future, we must be firmly grounded in the past. -- Margaret Mead |
