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.
