It is also the time-tempered beauty of New England, the shimmering heat of deserts, and swaying fields of golden grain.
Great cities blaze into the night, seaports stir in the never-ending tasks of commerce, factories spew out their produce while tobacco and cotton thrust forth their bounty from the earth.

Great cities blaze into the night, seaports stir in the never-ending tasks of commerce, factories spew out their produce while tobacco and cotton thrust forth their bounty from the earth.
America is campsites beside murmuring streams, hiking through great forests, climbing rugged peaks to the top of the world. It is peoples of every kind and disposition, it is business, it is sport, it is families and homes.
This America is a land of dazzling differences and exhilarating hope. It holds a special promise and a private dream for every citizen. But it belongs in all its complexity to every American.
And now, in all its beauty, in all its contrast and in all its promise, the essence of America has been captured as never before in a single volume, a unique book called Under all is the Land.
