USA 101 - A guide to America’s Iconic Places, Events and Festivals.  By Gary MacKechnie

USA 101 stitches together a crazy quilt of iconic places, events, fairs, and festivals that celebrates America in all its quirky diversity.

Whoever you are, wherever you're going, whatever you like to do, it's here somewhere. And if you just stay home and travel armchair-style you'll still find this guide a vivid, often humorous, always fascinating blend of world-famous and distinctly local places and events that add up to a national portrait.

There are fivescore and one indelibly American destinations, from the Statue of Liberty to the Golden Gate Bridge, from Graceland to Disneyland; perennial sporting rituals like the Army-Navy football game, the Indy 500, the Soap Box Derby, and the Little League World Series.

USA 101 features entertaining descriptive narratives—lively sketches that capture each selection’s history and special appeal— and essential visiting information. Well seasoned by eclectic sidebars, this guide is a panorama of treasured traditions, favorite pastimes, and beloved national possessions that will surprise, amuse, and inform even the most sophisticated traveler. Countless travel books display some aspect or region of America, but USA 101 stitches together a whole crazy quilt of iconic places, events, fairs, and festivals that celebrates our country in all its quirky diversity.
