Book excerpt: Carl Sandburg Home NOTE: NO FURTHER DISCOUNT FOR THIS PRINT PRODUCT-OVERSTOCK SALE -- Significantly reduced list price while supplies last This official National Park Handbook provides an official introduction to the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site in Flat Rock, North Carolina. It is divided into 3 sections. Part 1 tells of the Sandburg family's life in the home; Part 2 presents an authoritative biographical essay on the man and his works; Part 3 provides concise tourist information and reference materials. Carl Sandburg, nationally renowned poet, biographer, lecturer, newspaper columnist, folksinger, author of American fairytales, and winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, provided broad and enduring 20th century insight into the circumstances, worth and spirit of the American people. He passionately championed for the everyday working person, those who may neither have had the words nor the power to speak for themselves. The historic landscape consists of the Sandburg residence, a dairy goat barn complex that is home to the park's Connemara Farms goat herd, sheds, rolling pastures, mountainside woods, five miles of hiking trails on moderate to steep terrain, two small lakes, several ponds, flower and vegetable gardens, and an apple orchard.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Carl Sandburg Home: Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site, North Carolina In one of my grandfather's bureau drawers at Connemara, along with a Hohner harmonica and a number of the scarves that he wrapped around his neck for warmth, I once came upon a box containing a small packet of tiny cards that had been printed in the Far East. On one side of each card was an Oriental painting, and on the opposite side, a prov erb. It was an odd little packet, and I took a liking to it, so my grandfather gave it to me. Years later I was to come upon it again in my own drawer and find new meaning in at least one of the sayings on the cards. It was the ancient Persian proverb: If I had two loaves of bread I would sell one to buy white hyacinths to feed my soul. After my grandfather's death in 1967, I heard that he had sometimes quoted that proverb and then added his own twist to it, Nor let us forget the reverse of that: 'if I had two baskets of white hyacinths, I would hope to God that I could sell one to buy some bread to feed myself.

Book excerpt: The most visited site in the National Park system, the 469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway winds along the ridges of the Appalachian mountains in Virginia and North Carolina. According to most accounts, the Parkway was a New Deal "Godsend for the needy," built without conflict or opposition by landscape architects and planners who traced their vision along a scenic, isolated southern landscape. The historical archives relating to this massive public project, however, tell a different and much more complicated story, which Anne Mitchell Whisnant relates in this revealing history of the beloved roadway.
