Hallowed Ground: Preserving America's Heritage

Rating:
Summary: Virginia countryside--truly hallowed ground
Review: this powerful book will move you to tears. It was born out of a perceived need to reacquaint all of us with our own history and the cultural need to work at preserving the land in some fashion for future generations. Previously untapped resources came together to champion this idea in a beautifully written tome accompanied by first-rate color photography.

i believe the idea of the book galvanized preservationist sympathies in Virgina and has been a key factor in major preservation achievements in more recent years.
