American Heritage Landmarks Written & Illustrated by Robert A. Powell This unique volume of art and history includes distinctive pen & ink drawings of the American Flag and significant landmarks from our proud and noble heritage, both natural and man-made, that have played a major role in the development of this great country. American Heritage Landmarks is a collection of pen & ink drawings that represent the extremely diverse history that made America the greatest nation on planet Earth. It is the effort of one artist to preserve vital bits and pieces of that history and heritage to be appreciated by the current and future generations. Many of these drawings have captured an eternal place in the hearts of many Americans in various ways through the years. Some subjects still look the same as when they were actually drawn, while others have evolved in some way, and some no longer exist; however, all will remain captured in time along with the significance to their place in history. Some of the most popular subjects in United States history, as well as some more obscure are depicted in this collection. All have played a significant role in the making of America. There is a brief description about each subject; a story that offers the basic facts as to why that subject is considered to be worthy of preserving. For easiest organization the topics are listed in the Table of Contents in alphabetic order by the subject title.
