This book gives you a present day, and historical look at the Mission. It captures so much of the spirit. It is beautifully photographed, each picture being a treasure in itself. It is wonderfully illustrated - the artist certainly understands the Mission, and it is so well written. The author paints a picture of the old and new in an amazing way. The whole book is a work of art in itself.

If you have ever visited the Mission, or intend to visit it, or any other of the Missions this book is a must read. It will make your visit a truly personal experience.

173 roadside markers are described in this book, arranged by section of the state. How many times have you been driving along a road when suddenly a historical marker appears along the side and there is no way to stop and read it? Books like this eliminate the frustration of passing those markers by. And from the amount of text on Montana's signs, it is much more convenient reading it from a book than from the sign itself. There is also a thorough index and a useful bibliography included. The book would be interesting to armchair travelers, too. A convenient way for travelers to learn Montana's history.

This book is incredible! I got a job in Toronto and had to go look for a place to live - I relied on this book to find my way around. I highly recommend it! The book is great for big cities, because you can sit on a subway, or bus, and discreetly fold out the map to get your bearings, and then fold it back into the page. It has all the major neighborhoods in downtown Toronto well mapped out and described. The book itself is small and can easily fit into a small carry on bag. Thank-you moon metro - you made my life much easier

This book has breathtaking photographs of lovely exotic Spain. A true delight and pleasurable experience. A wonderful addition to your coffee table for everyone to enjoy. I have received many compliments on this inspiring magnificent book. It would make a great gift.

This book lists all sorts of gems, esp for appliances, electronics and carpeting. Every store I have gone too has been terrific, and their prices the lowest when I did a comparison. However, a lot has changed since 1996 and the book desperately needs to be updated. Mark....please prepare a 2001 version!

Mr. Lincoln's City: An Illustrated Guide To The Civil War Sites Of Washington by U.S. Army Major General Richard M. Lee (Retired) is enhanced with 15 maps and 130 historical photographs as it offers the reader a series of major tours throughout downtown Washington, DC, to 80 sites that were significant to the events occurring between 1861 and 1865 during the American Civil War. There were a total of 68 forts encircling Washington, which the Union forces utilized as a major war base with its rail net and staging areas. This proved critically important as Confederate forces approached the city when the great battles took place in neighboring Virginia to the detriment of the Union Army. Here land marked for the onsite visitor as well as the armchair traveler are the Washington Monument slaughterhouse, the fetid creeks and canals, the sick, the wounded and the dying lying in hospitals strewn across the city. This is also the place where President Lincoln brought his forces to final victory, preserved the union, and resulted in Washington becoming the premier city of a reunited republic -- an unassailable position it has held down to the present day. Mr. Lincoln's City is an enthusiastically recommended addition to American History and Civil War History reference collections, as well as an ideal resource for planning a Civil War oriented tour of Washington, DC.
