Blending literature and travel, this book offers a look at 15 US destinations featured in the works of famous writers. Designed as a guide to help avid bibliophiles experience, in person, the places theyve only read about, award-winning journalist Terri Peterson Smith takes readers on lively tours that include a Mark Twain inspired steamboat cruise on the Mississippi, a Devil in the White City view of Chicago in the Gilded Age, a voyage through the footsteps of the immigrants and iconoclasts of San Francisco, and a look at low country Charlestons rich literary tradition.
