This guide is unparalleled to everything we see these days in the tourism section of Bookstores. Roger Kennedy, as he did in the other volumes of this Smithsonian Series, delves solely on the historical and artistic aspects of the various region of the USA. In the Desert States volume, the author brilliantly teach us important facts of these four states with the help of precious and old pictures, some of them dating back to the XIX century.This Desert States volume, along with the volumes of the other American regions, is a must-buy because of its peculiarity, omitting frivolous turistic details but dwelling on often-forgotten data about America's history.
