Summary:  "Sand and stone are Earth's fragmented memory. Each of us, too, is a landscape inscribed by memory and loss. One life-defining lesson Lauret Savoy learned as a young girl was this: the American land did not hate. As an educator and Earth historian, she has tracked the continent's past from the relics of deep time; but the paths of ancestors -- paths of free and enslaved Africans, colonists from Europe, and peoples indigenous to this land -- lie largely eroded and lost. A mosaic of personal journeys and historical inquiry across a continent and time, an exploration of the country's still unfolding history, from twisted terrain within the San Andreas Fault zone to a South Carolina plantation, from national parks to burial grounds, from 'Indian Territory' and the U.S.-Mexico Border to the U.S. capital. Trace grapples with a searing national history to reveal the often unvoiced presence of the past, weaving together human stories of migration, silence, and displacement, as epic as the continent's uplifted mountains, braided streams, and eroded canyons"--Provided by publisher.
