Here is Where: Discovering America's Great Forgotten History by Andrew Carroll

4.0

I love history. I read history, I study history, I have my degree in it, I've volunteered at my local history museum for 6 year (which, to my surprise, the museum is listed in this book as a special thanks along with the curator and my old professor). I'm that gal that stands at any given spot and wonders "What happened here? Who was here? Stood here before me?" This book was for me. I enjoy learning about the "little" facts, the forgotten past. The stories were informative and fascinating. And I'm slightly jealous of the author's journey to find more history. I wish there had been some pictures added in. The author writes quite frequently about photographing sites and I would have loved to see them, even if the original historical building/event/person was no longer. I would love to see him write another book in the same vein!
