      America evokes pride and symbolizes freedom, attracting visitors and residents alike. This land, rich with unique symbols, inspires a deep yearning for home. Professional photographer Fred Hirschmann captures the essence of the American dream through his stunning images, showcasing both iconic urban landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge and the Manhattan skyline, as well as breathtaking natural wonders such as Old Faithful and Yosemite's Half Dome. Armed with medium- and large-format cameras, Fred traversed the nation, exploring familiar regions and uncharted territories alike, revealing what often goes unnoticed and offering fresh perspectives on the familiar. The book is organized into twelve regions, highlighting America’s scenic beauty from Maine’s coastline to Santa Cruz sunsets, and from Lexington's horse farms to San Antonio’s historic missions. This visual travelog presents a blend of grand and intimate landscapes, showcasing the diverse moods and seasons of America. Accompanying the photographs are introductory essays by Suzan Hall, providing historical context and unique insights into each region's character, while Ann Zwinger’s foreword poetically reflects on the land's vastness. Together, the images and text create a vibrant tapestry that celebrates the beauty and complexity of America.
