Pennsylvania is often overlooked as a tourist destination; consequently, few good general guides to the state are currently available. Here is a guide to mostly state-owned historical properties, e.g., the Daniel Boone Homestead. Several national parks such as Gettysburg and Valley Forge are also included. Well-written essays briefly sketch the site's importance in state history, and there is a description of things to see and do today. The essays will appeal more to history buffs than casual tourists, but the color photographs will spark any traveler's enthusiasm. As this is the first book on the state's historical sites to appearin a long time, it would be an attractive purchase for any public library.
