Synopsis

High on a bluff overlooking the Columbia River Gorge near Maryhill, Washington travelers are amazed to find that a replica of England's Stonehenge has been built in the United States. America's Stonehenge reveals the similarities between the old and the new. Part 1 describes America's Replica, while Part 2 tells of the three stages of construction of England's Stonehenge. The author built a scale model of that venerable megalithic monument to illustrate the comparison of the modern Replica to the ancient monolith. Mr. Plini's photographs of this model portray uniquely, and realistically, the three phases of construction of this mysterious monument as it appeared to Stone Age people 1500 years before Christ. In America's Stonehenge, Mr. Plini tells the intriguing story of Sam Hill, the eccentric builder of America's Replica and patron of the Maryhill Museum of Art, the location of one of the finest collections in the world of sketches and statues by the sculptor Auguste Rodin.
