Book Description This lovely book combines beautifully artistic color photographs with brief excerpts from the pens of famous American writers. America's barns come in many shapes and colors. Here is a bright red Pennsylvania Dutch barn, George Washington's own round barn in Virginia, several huge barns in Midwestern prairie country, New England barns, and many more. Each evocative photo comes with a description taken from American literature. The more than 50 atmospheric photos are serene yet powerfulstatements of Americana, beautifully complemented with the poetic quotations that serve as their captions. This is a wonderful little volume for gift-giving, or for treasuring in one's personal library.
