Livre Edition originale
Soft cover. Etat : Fine. 1st Edition. Fine condition oversized (12 inches tall) color photographic stiff semi-hard softcover wraps. Includes Foreword by Spencer R. Crew; Acknowledgments; Introduction: What is Worth Saving?; Notes; Further Reading; Photograph Credits; and Index. Profusely illustrated with both black-and-white photographs and color photographs. "The Smithsonian Institution has been America's museum since 1846. What do its vast collections - from the ruby slippers to a piece of Plymouth Rock, first ladies' gowns to patchwork quilts, a Model T Ford to a customized Ford LTD low rider - tell Americans about themselves? In this lavishly illustrated guide to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, Steven Lubar and Kathleen M. Kendrick tell the stories behind more than 250 of the museum's treasures, many of them never before photographed for publication. These stories not only reveal what America as a nation has decided to save and why but also speak to changing visions of national identity. As the authors demonstrate, views of history change over time, methods of historical investigation evolve and improve, and Americans' understanding of the past matures. Shifts in focus and attitude lie at the heart of Legacies, which is organized around four concepts of what a national museum of history can be: a treasure houses, a shrine to the famous, a palace of progress, and a mirror of the nation. Thus, the museum collects cherished or precious objects, houses celebrity memorabilia, documents technological advances, and reflects visitors' own lives. Taking examples from science and technology, politics, decorative arts, military history, ethnic heritage, popular culture, and everyday life, the authors provide historical context for the work of the Smithsonian and shed new light on what is important, and who is included, in American history. Throughout its history, Lubar and Kendrick conclude, the museum has played a vital role in both shaping and reflecting America's sense of itself as a nation." - Excerpt from the inner front jacket flap.

Livre Edition originale
Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. First Edition. First printing. Dk. green full-cloth boards, stamped cover and spine titles, moderate shelf wear, bump. Heavy stock coated pages, fine. Folio 9.25" x 12.25" design. Richly and vibrantly illustrated throughout. Indexed. In this highly selective tour of the museum's inventory, museum curators Lubar and Kendrick point out curiosities and treasures alike, all of them providing clues about the American past: a clamshell used in the Depression as currency, accepted as an object of value by the denizens of a California beach town; a fragment of a Confederate flag torn from its post by an angry Union sympathizer the day after Virginia voted for secession; the overstuffed chair from which actor Carroll O'Connor delivered Archie Bunker's diatribes on the sitcom All in the Family; a 1903 Teddy bear, made after then-president Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear cub while out hunting; Tom Thumb's hat, Prince's guitar, Cesar Chavez's windbreaker, and dozens of other items that chronicle the ever-changing culture. Through the stories behind more than 200 representative objects many not photographed previously for publication Lubar and Kendrick propose to answer the question, "What do [the museum's] vast collections tell Americans about themselves?" 256 pages. Size: Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. Book.
