Title: Land of Opportunity: Books of the States

URL: http://www.lib.udel.edu/ud/spec/exhibits/lands/index.htm

Collection: University of Delaware Special Collections Online Exhibitions and Finding Aids

Description: Lands of Opportunity describes the formation of the United States through fifty books, one for each of the fifty states. The story of five hundred years of American history is developed through the stories of explorers, soldiers, merchants, scientists, farmers, and miners. The dreams of wealth and glory of the early explorers, the destruction of the civilization of the native peoples, the harsh realities of farm life on the prairie, and the rise and fall of the gold mines in California are all described in these texts. This exhibition was on display in the Special Collections Gallery from February 16-June 11, 1999.
