American Places by William Zinnser
Setting out in the spring of 1990 'to look for America', when patriotic travel was suddenly back in fashion, William Zinsser made first-time pilgrimages to some of America's most cherished and visited historic sites: Mount Rushmore, Rockefeller Center, Yellowstone National Park, Pearl Harbor, even the "corny and obvious" Niagara Falls. At these and his other iconic destinations, Zinsser unlearned clichéd assumptions and rediscovered fundamental truths about America. Originally published in 1992, AMERICAN PLACES and the ideals that Zinsser discovers these places represent will never go out of fashion.William Zinsser began his career as a reporter for the New York Herald Tribune and went on to write for a variety of publications. Writing to Learn, American Locations, Mitchell & Ruff: An American Profile in Jazz, and Easy to Remember: The Great American Songwriters and Their Songs are among his seventeen works, in addition to On Writing Well. He was a writer who taught at Yale and the New School. In 2015, William Zinsser passed away.
