Historic America: The Heartland
Author: Brooks Robards.
Series Editor: John S. Bowman.
Format: 216 x 280mm, 144 pages.

The history of America’s “Heartland,” still unfolding, is a vivid tale of hopes, dreams and sometimes harsh realities; of the migrant’s spirit of adventure and curiosity; of humming factories and expansive fields of golden corn; of small, close-knit communities and sophisticated cities, evolving since prehistoric times in a landscape of rare beauty. The nation’s geographical center and crossroads, this region also drives America’s economic engine in the form of both industry and agriculture.
