Journey Through Hallowed Ground, Birthplace of the
American Ideal, a Beautiful Photo
Book Showcasing “The Journey”
A National Geographic publication
In the mid-seventeenth century, settlers from England
and from Virginia's coastal plain began pushing beyond the fall line
and into the Piedmont region of the Blue Ridge. This was the initial
chapter in America's long, westward movement. The Piedmont, home to
Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, and John Marshall, nurtured
many of the architects of our revolution and Constitution. Many of
the bloodiest and most critical battles of the Civil War were fought
in the region.
Along the 180-mile stretch from Monticello to Gettysburg—designated
by Congress as the official "birthplace of America"—intriguing
details of our nation’s past emerge from every town and byway.
This beautiful book, Journey Through Hallowed Ground Birthplace
of the American Ideal, spotlights key places and personalities
on the route, revealing insiders’ stories of early America.

Hallowed Ground - Preserving America's Heritage, A Photo
Book Showcasing Virginia's Piedmont Region
In the mid-seventeenth century, settlers
from England and from Virginia's coastal plain began pushing beyond
the fall line and into the Piedmont region of the Blue Ridge. This
was the initial chapter in America's long, westward movement. The
Piedmont, home to Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe,
and John Marshall, nurtured many of the architects of our revolution
and Constitution. Many of the bloodiest and most critical battles
of the Civil War were fought in the region.
Thus, this land is truly "hallowed ground" for
all who treasure our nation's past. In a wonderful work, historian
Rudy Abramson with photographs by National Geographic cover photographer
Kenneth Garrett and acclaimed photographer Jack Kotz, follows the history
of the Old Carolina Road in Virginia from the early rivalries of Native
American tribes, to the settlement of the region by our Founding Fathers,
to the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. With insights from national
historians and Pulitzer Prize winning writers set within the stunning
photographs this book provides a vital insight into the sheer magnificence
of the landscape, Where America Happened.
