America the Beautiful: A Story in Photographs showcases the stunning spaces closest to our nation’s heart, from the woods in the Great Appalachian Valley to the breathtaking sweep of California’s Big Sur coast to the wilds of Alaska. It also celebrates the people who made this country what it is, with a wide range of images that includes the Arikara Nation in the early 1900s and scientists preparing for travel to Mars on a Hawaiian island. Culled from National Geographic’s photo archives and spanning a period of more than 130 years, this collection depicts the splendor of this great nation with a dramatic combination of modern and historical imagery.
