Summary:

"This volume seeks to portray the beauty of the American countryside. It does not encompass the might of our cities nor the dynamic energy of our industries. That is a theme for a book in itself. Above all, it is not a state-by-state encyclopedia of sceneic wonders. Its objective is to destill the essence of rural America. The work of more than eighty etchers and photographers has been selected to give an unforgettable impression of this bright land. Their eloquent pictures speak for themselves, without the need of an interlocutor."--Editor's note.
