Just received my copy of the History Channel Magazine [March/April 2010] ... In it is a little insert that recommends some sites to visit in the United States ... their 10 TOP recommendations, in fact. I was pleased to see that they included all 4 of my Against All Odds sites, Lexington Green, The Alamo, Gettysburg, and Little Bighorn among them!!

Here is the list:

* Boston, Massachusetts, including Freedom Trail and Lexington's Battle Green -- Cradle of American Liberty
* Cape Canaveral, Florida -- From Footprints to Bootprints
* Gettysburg, Pennsylvania -- Crucible of the Union
* Little Bighorn, Montana -- Where Cultures Clashed
* Memphis, Tennessee, including National Civil Rights Museum and Graceland -- Speak [and Sing] to Power
* New York City, New York, including Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island -- America's Front Door
* Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, including Independence Visitor Center and Valley Forge -- Foundation of Liberty
* San Antonio, Texas, including the Alamo and the River Walk -- Remember the Alamo
* Washington, D.C., including the Monuments and Smithsonian Institution -- The People's City
* Yosemite, California -- Everybody's Playground

Never been to Cape Canaveral or Yosemite, but have visited the other 8 - in many cases MANY times!!

Good thing the Alamo was on that list or I, obviously, would've been furious.

To be sure, Sarge, there is much room for discussion about this list. Picking 10 is nearly imposible; a consensus difficult. I agree with your choice. As usual, History Channel was trying to be PC and cover all bases. Memphis and Canaveral - maybe Yosemite - could have been scratched and replaced with more worthy sites -- Pearl Harbor, for example. But, all in all, a pretty representative list, I thought.

Yup, the word "Everybody" is the key here--we live 90 min. away & yet we haven't been there since 1987!!! Man o man, there are just too many touristas there!

The only other places on this list that I've been to are Gettysburg & DC.

Sachem Rich, as pleased as I am that they included areas found within 'Against All Odds', I am suprised that they did not include Virginia's 'Historic Triangle' of Jamestown, Williamsburg and Yorktown among their 'Top 10' list. Is there anywhere else in our country where one can find better symbolism for the birth/growth of the American identity? In less than three-quarter an hour's drive from end-to-end, one can cover an area which includes the Age of Exploration (Jamestown), the Colonial Era (Williamsburg), and the symbolic end of the American Revolution (Yorktown). Such a region rich in national heritage should surely rate on that list, do you not agree?



YMH&OS,
