Summary

"From one of our most treasured filmmakers, a pictorial history of America-a stunning and moving collection of Ken Burns's favorite photographs"--, Provided by publisherBurns has assembled the images that, for him, best embody nearly two hundred years of the American experiment. Taken by some of our most beloved photographers and by others who worked in obscurity, the images show America's vast natural beauty as well as its dynamic cities and communities. There are images of war and civil conflict; of communities drawing together across lines of race and class. The photos have minimal captions, allowing them to stand on their own-- while also talking across boundaries and decades. -- adapted from jacket
