      Wonderful! A joy to read and a ton of American history packed into this little 15-minuter.

      So much beautiful scenery! Reading this article feels like going for a beautiful hike.

      Jill Lepore is an excellent writer. I wonder why this one didn't end up in The New Yorker, where her stuff usually gets published. Regardless, it's absolutely perfect for National Geographic.
