Olmsted roamed eleven states and six thousand miles, and the New York Times published his dispatches about slavery and its defenders. More than 150 years later, Tony Horwitz followed Olmsted's route, and whenever possible his mode of transport--rail, riverboats, in the saddle--through Appalachia, down the Ohio and Mississippi, through Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, and across Texas to the Rio Grande, discovering and reporting on vestiges of what Olmsted called the Cotton Kingdom"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 917.504 Ho Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 917.504 Ho Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 917.504 Horwitz Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 917.504 Ho Checked out 05/18/2024 Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 917.504 Ho Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 917.504 Ho Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 917.504 Ho Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 917.504 Ho Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
