He romps through disaster zones, battlefields, terrorist attack sites--as long as it has a parking lot and a gift shop, he put it on the itinerary, no gravestone unturned. Along the way, he takes a look at the motivations of the people who installed the monuments, and when he pauses to seek the meaning behind the early demise of one of his own ancestors, he uncovers a tragic race-based murder plot that had been buried for a century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an American journey that could only be undertaken in our turbulent times, celebrating the absurd while surveying the country's teetering patriotic mythology from a healthy position on the margins. Jason chases newspaper clippings in dusty archives to inscriptions on rusty plaques to get to the truth, and in doing so, creates a moving miniature portrait of what it really means to be an American: what's \"fact,\" what's \"history,\" and what really matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jason Cochran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1544503652\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781544503653\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Well Hall Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.92d","brand":"Jason Cochran","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941546230015,"sku":"9781544503653","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f9493c16-1381-4e7d-a42c-c89cb23d655f.jpg?v=1681453543","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/here-lies-america-jason-cochran-9781544503653","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
