This book helps young readers understand why and how the Blue Ridge Parkway, the most visited site in our national park system, came to be built, the differing views of people affected by it, and the tradeoffs that were necessary along the way. The beautiful color photographs capture the enduring beauty of the parkway while the historical illustrations help to appreciate the vision and hard work that brought it into being.
