For thousands of years, humankind's many cultures have used the technique on memorials to honor people or events, and few nations are as rich in such monuments as our own.\n\nThis inspiring, vividly illustrated book celebrates more than four dozen such sites all over the United States. Each entry presents the words immortalized at a site, whose unique ambiance suffuses Carol M. Highsmiths's compelling photographs. Ryan Coonerty's evocative text details the creation of the monument and the events and individuals who inspired it.\n\nEtched in Stone is a book that will be treasured by any American patriot and every visitor to these monuments, by students of history or connoisseurs of evocative art and stirring architecture. It truly captures what we as a nation wish to remember--and cannot afford to forget.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1426204744\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1426204744.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Coonerty, Ryan|Highsmith, Carol\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Missing dust cover, otherwise book is in good condition with some wear from normal use.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43335940243517,"sku":"BVV.1426204744.G","price":16.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1426204744-0.jpg?v=1783742887","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/etched-in-stone-enduring-words-from-our-nations-monuments-1","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
