Provides a visual tour of American history, exploring forgotten and overlooked people, places, events, and achievements that have contributed to America's rich legacy. Former George Washington University professor of American Studies Roger G. Kennedy held many other important responsibilities during his long and successful career. In addition to serving six U.S. presidents, creating acclaimed documentaries for PBS, and reporting from Washington, D.C., for NBC News, the late Mr. Kennedy was the man who brought Dorothy's ruby slippers, Archie Bunker's chair, and Kermit the Frog to the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History. To top off his illustrious career, Mr. Kennedy led the National Park Service during the mid-1990s to a rejuvenation and expansion of the country's national park system. Roger Kennedy led a life that most of us can truly admireâ"steeped in learning about the world and dedicated to the notion that the best kind of legacy each of us can leave is an open door through which others may walk. From start to finish, Mr. Kennedy's life's work reflected a passion for educating people about American history. The author wrote "in putting these essays together, I have revisited subjects about which I have been writing for nearly forty years, going back again to people and places. Mostly this is a book about the history of places. Even when it presents a hero--when the center point is a person--that person is in a place, asking us to look about, to smell the air, look to the horizon, measure the trees, scuff the ground, listen for animals. That is the way of homecomings; the people we hind in home places seem to belong there. The short biographies are of people who, in one way or another, are heroes for me. They chose themselves not because were 'representative' or 'typical'. I have never met a typical person. No, they are here because in life they were magnetic enough to draw into their stories a good deal of the collective experience of their times.
