Description:In See America First, Marguerite Shaffer chronicles the birth of modern American tourism between 1880 and 1940, linking tourism to the simultaneous growth of national transportation systems, print media, a national market, and a middle class with money and time to spend on leisure.

She shows how tourists as consumers participated in the search for a national identity that could assuage their anxieties about American society and culture.Generously illustrated with images from advertisements, guidebooks, and travelogues, See America First demonstrates that the promotion of tourist landscapes and the consumption of tourist experiences were central to the development of an American identity.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
