This book offers a window into history: to the most famous conflicts fought on American soil, the triumphant victories of its sporting events and even journeys to race in space which jettisoned from the land of the free and the home of the brave.

A comprehensive history and politics book exploring American conflicts and triumphs over the past 250 years
Frank Hopkinson has researched and commissioned over 50 Then and Now titles in North America from Atlanta to Albuquerque, from Portland to Puerto Rico, including best-sellers New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Las Vegas and Washington DC. He has photographed many of the cities featured including Brooklyn, New Orleans and Savannah as well as going on the road to capture the nostalgic motels of Route 66. Ballparks Then and Now and Civil War Battlefields are two constantly revised titles that have made him a Cubs fan and given him a deep appreciation of the work of Mathew Brady and Alexander Gardner. His favourite book is Mark Twains America Then and Now, which charts the formative places the great author lived and worked and resulted in an invitation to Elmira, Twains octagonal pilot house on the hill.
