This Land Is Your Land: A Road Trip Through U.S. History
Published on: April 7, 2026
“This Land is Your Land” was a very informative and interesting look at American History told using historical landmarks and museums as the background. Beverly Gage skips all the popular, well known places and shows us all history off the beaten path. Each chapter is a road trip she took so the book is divided by geography and not necessarily time period or topic.
I learned so much I don’t know and while the book I not focused solely on Native American history, I found the sections focusing on Native American history the most compelling. Probably because I didn’t learn nearly enough about that in school but, I digress.
Overall, I enjoyed reading this. I do wish that there were some more “road trip” anecdotes to add some levity and humor. They’re in there, but few and far between and I loved them when they popped up!
