Grave Trippers II: Remembering and Respecting America's Heroes and Heroines

A fun, history-saturated guidebook for pilgrimages to the gravesites of Americans who changed the course of history: the Gardino brothers lead another trip to cemeteries across the United States where prominent Americans who served their country lie. Visiting the tombs of seventy-two of these heroes and heroines in all parts of the United States, the Gardinos use their tour itineraries to share underappreciated nuggets of American history and the lives of the men women who made it. These citizens were soldiers, scientists, authors, judges, civil rights leaders, actors, singers, athletes, political leaders, and clergymen with one thing in common--they used their talents to help others and to build a better society. To stand at their graves with Robert and Vincent is to take inspiration from their lives.
