"Explore our ancestors' hometowns! This book guides you through American history by looking at the United States' sixteen most populous and historically influential cities, including New York, Chicago, Boston, New Orleans, and Baltimore. Each section features beautiful, full-color maps published at crucial points in each city's history, tracing its growth and development from its founding to the early 1900s. Use the maps to find your ancestor's home, trace your ancestor's walk to work, and identify the streets and building from your ancestor's everyday life. Delve further into the past with a quick-reference timeline of key dates from each city's history.
