{"product_id":"around-america-walter-cronkite-9780393323351","title":"Around America: A Tour of Our Magnificent Coastline","description":"America has nearly five thousand miles of coastline. What would it be like to travel from the islands of Maine to the stepping-stones of the Florida Keys; from the cliffs of the Pacific Northwest to the beaches of southern California; and around the Gulf Coast, where our major rivers reach the sea? Here we travel with Walter Cronkite, our trusted guide. At Maine's eastern tip, we find a British warship captured during the Revolution by the citizens of Machias, wielding pitchforks because they had no muskets. We visit islands along Texas's coastline, exploring a sanctuary for migratory birds. And we visit Fort Ross, on California's Redwood Coast, a replica of the 1812 Russian settlement begun as a fur trading post, with dreams of expanding the Russian empire. In this compelling travelogue we can almost hear Cronkite talking, his smooth cadences spinning stories about the coastline he loves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter Cronkite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393323358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393323351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
