See America First

"See America First" by Orville O. Hiestand is a compilation of travel observations highlighting the splendor of America's natural and historic sites. The book promotes the idea that American landscapes are just as worthy of admiration as those in foreign countries, encouraging readers to explore the beauty within their own nation. Readers are invited to discover sites across the United States, with an emphasis on the unique charm and historical value of each location. The narrative begins with a thoughtful atmosphere, as the authors describe the happiness and peace they find in nature, and their rejection of the belief that only faraway places are worth seeing, directing attention to the beauty of locales such as the Adirondacks and the Hudson River. Experiencing nature becomes a way to refresh one's spirit and find inspiration, motivating readers to appreciate the world around them and develop a deeper understanding of their surroundings. The authors convey their personal enjoyment in reuniting with companions and their thankfulness for the gifts of nature, presenting themes of adventure, togetherness, and the celebration of America's varied landscapes.
