America’s getting old. It’s soon to celebrate its 250th birthday. It’s getting harder and harder for its citizens to find anything to agree on, even the nation’s history. But it’s still possible to get out there and see the American past for yourself. And it’s a lot more interesting – and colourful – than any tired story of manifest destiny you’ve heard.Ride along with award-winning historian Beverly Gage on an epic road trip, a drive through US history in thirteen places, dropping by museums, a nuclear silo and a sex commune on the way. From the Battle of the Alamo to Richard Nixon in Disneyland, Gage dives into America’s messy contradictions and discovers a country we still can love.---Featured in NYT Books We're Excited About This Spring

'To go on the road with Beverly Gage is to travel America with a wise and companionable guide who unpacks the stories that are both offered and concealed at the museums, monuments, and souvenir shops where Americans come face-to-face with their past. Gage has a gift for reframing familiar stories and finding forgotten characters who capture a moment. By showing how much contestation the past generated, This Land is Your Land leaves readers hopeful that the country will survive today’s conflicts, too.' Barbara J. Keys, author of Reclaiming American Virtue
