Doggin' American History (A Bark In The Park) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Experienced canine travelers are all too aware of the prohibitions against dogs on national park trails but not so many know about the hidden gems the national park service reserves for dog owners: historical parks and battlefields. Dogs are typically allowed anywhere outside buildings in these places and hikers will often find the same mountain views, verdant forests and refreshing streams familiar in national parks. All with the added bonus of engaging in our shared heritage along these tail-friendly trails.America's national historic parks are great destinations for travelers with a dog or two or three in tow. In addition to immersing yourself in our country's heritage an outdoor adventure awaits as well.DOGGIN' AMERICAN HISTORY describes these hallowed grounds as well as American Revolution and Civil War battlefields where your dog is welcome.As a bonus, the final section describes American forts. The first thing European settlers did when they arrived on our shores was build a fort. From these crude wilderness earthworks and log blockhouses to the massive masonry fortifications of the 19th century, forts played an important role in American defense through World War II. Today forts have morphed into military bases that are cities in their own right. Many of the old forts remain wholly or partially intact, original or restored, and make unique canine hiking destinations with your dog. DOGGIN' AMERICA HISTORY is part of the series from Cruden Bay Books that helps dog owners locate tail-friendly parks and trails: DOGGIN' AMERICA: GREAT OUTDOOR VACATION IDEAS FOR YOU AND YOUR DOG.
