These locations cover American history from pre-Colonial times to the War of 1812. Enhanced with photos of points of interest, the book has a special section that allows yo to create a journey of discovery with your own theme, whether it be early Native American hisotyr, following the Underground Railroad from the pre-Civil War days or unique specialized scenic routes., This guidebook is quite unusual. It's published in conjunction with The Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership (hallowed ground.org), a nonprofit organization 'dedicated to raising national awareness of the unparalleled history in the region, which generally follows the Old Carolina Road (Route 15/231) from Gettysburg, though Maryland, to Monticello in Albemarle County, Va.' That route sure packs a lot of history in almost every one of its 175 miles. The purpose of the book is to help the folks living there preserve it. . . .Besides a full-color map highlighting historic spots, the book mentions accommodations, restaurants, shopping and interesting side trips, such as the one to White's Ferry, the last working ferry on the Potamac, about a mile north of Leesburg, Va. And the book inspires you to create your journey, whether it's a presidential trail or the African-American Heritage Tour., Instead of spending Presidents' Day weekend skiing or off at a spa, why not brush up on your United States history? A new book, "The Journey Through Hallowed Ground" (Capital Books, $20), charts a 175-mile historic driving trip from Monticello to Gettysburg. Most appropriate is the "presidential journey," part of the tour, which takes readers to the homes of several presidents including Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower., One of the key traits of a great seller is his ability to think fast, switching sales strategies at the drop of a hat to fit a client's needs. And while persuasion isn't a class taught in business school, it is a skill that can be improved. Enter bestselling author and corporate trainer Robert Jolles. In his new book, Mental Agility, Jolles demonstrates a disciplined approach for readers to think on their feet, captivating and influencing their audience., Thus it is with great pleasure that I have been reading a new travel book, The Journey Through Hallowed Ground, written by David Edwin Lillard. Oh, if only we had had such a volume with us in the car on Sundays! Lillard has done an incredibly thorough job of documenting and describing places of my childhood, and other places outside of Washington, DC that I have visited and spent time in as an adult. It is a guidebook of course, so it covers restaurants and bed and breakfast recommendations. The approach is an historic one, so it is easy to find Civil War spots and follow in presidential footsteps., This remarkable region tells the story of how and where America happened. It has the power to transport us on the greatest adventure of all: the journey of empathy and imagination into the lives of the people--famous and unknown, humble and distinguished--who shaped this country and made us who we are., Guidebook leads to history . . . the first travel guidebook written to direct visitors from Gettysburg to Monticello along The Journey Through Hallowed Ground, a historic region. The book guides readers to the homes of American presidents, through the largest collection of Civil War battlefields, sites from Colonial times, the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, Native American history of the Susquehannock and Iroquois tribes, African American heritage sites including those along the Underground Railroad, 13 National Parks, and the World Heritage Site of Jefferson's Monticello and the University of Virginia., "Instead of spending Presidents' Day weekend skiing or off at a spa, why not brush up on your United States history? A new book, "The Journey Through Hallowed Ground" (Capital Books, $20), charts a 175-mile historic driving trip from Monticello to Gettysburg. Most appropriate is the "presidential journey," part of the tour, which takes readers to the homes of several presidents including Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower.", "There aren't many places that encompass a greater variety of significant historical sites - from the founding fathers' homes to Civil War battlefields--or that face a more serious range of threats." Richard Moe, president, National Trust for Historic Preservation "This is the ground of our Founding Fathers. These are landscapes that speak volumes - small towns, churches, fields, mountains, creeks and rivers with names such as Bull Run and Rappahannock. They are the real thing, and what shame we will bring on ourselves if we destroy them." David McCullough, Pulitzer Prize winning writer and historian "Originally a trading route for the Susquehannock and Iroquois Indians, the corridor later became fertile ground for the birth of United States. The property includes the Presidential homes of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Zachary Taylor and Dwight Eisenhower. The property also witnessed some of the epic battles in Civil War history at Gettysburg, Antietam and Cedar Creek." George Allen, U.S. Senator, Imagine visiting the Gettysburg or Brandywine battlefield and knowing exactly where to go for a greater burger or a wonderful used-book store or even a cozy bed-and-breakfast for the night. A recently published book makes that possible. Veteran guide writer David E. Lillard appears to have sampled everything along a 175-mile stretch of the Old Carolina Road (Route 15) to bring attention to the offerings of small towns between Gettysburg and Monticello., . . . a travel book aimed at pointing out a variety of restaurants and activities to show the flavor of a place highlights the Pennsylvania Dutch tradition of hot wieners as one of the must-dos in the Civil War town. . . . Lillard's book points out family-friendly activities like the Pioneer Rail Corp's scenic railroad, stopping by the Book Cellar or eating traditional Amish shoofly pies for breakfast at the Brick House Inn., The Journey Through Hallowed Ground -- a guide to the historic and cultural sites on the 175-mile Hallowed Ground route that extends from Pennsylvania to Virginia., "There aren't many places that encompass a greater variety of significant historical sites - from the founding fathers' homes to Civil War battlefields--or that face a more serious range of threats."Richard Moe, president, National Trust for Historic Preservation"This is the ground of our Founding Fathers.
