Synopsis

Pulitzer Prize–winning author of G-Man and acclaimed historian Beverly Gage takes the ultimate road trip into the American past.

Ride along with Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Beverly Gage as she travels the country to see the museums, historic sites, roadside attractions, reenactments, and souvenir shops where Americans learn—and fight—about our history. From the birth of the nation in Philadelphia to Disneyland and the California dream, This Land Is Your Land offers a guided tour of thirteen places and thirteen key moments that define America’s greatest successes and challenges.

The year 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, a document that proclaimed the liberty and equality of all human beings, but produced a country that often failed to agree upon—or live up to—those ideals. This Land Is Your Land is for everyone who wants to find that history—to experience it and confront it, to celebrate it and condemn it—in the places where it happened.

Gage shows that Americans can face their past and still love their country. Toss the book in the back seat—or listen on audio with the windows down—and join the journey.

ARC It’s hard at this point to feel any sort of positive feelings through the United States in this time. But as the thesis of this book makes clear This land is your(my) land and it’s our land. This trip through history via Gage’s road trips makes you see how complicated and interesting our history......more

Goodreads review by Caitie on April 09, 2026

As a citizen, I love my country, and I hate when its patriotic symbols—the flag, the national anthem, the founding—have been co-opted by narrow minded people who claim that they, are the true Americans. 3.5/5 stars. While this was interesting look at some places in the United States that are tourist......more
