Summary: Get beyond the landscape!
Comment: Anyone who has traveled through the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia knows that it is a naturally beautiful place, unfortunately pocked, like most of the United States, with garish fast-food "restaurants." But there is more to the place than the mountains and corn fields, as Scott Suter's deeply informative book reveals. There are people, their customs, their culture: music, religion, food, basket-weaving, amateur sport.... The book proves that, in spite of those ubiquitous burger joints, there is still a "there" in America. So, I highly recommend a deeper trip through "the Valley." The book, by the way, is well researched, vaguely academic in tone, as it uncovers the antecedents to the Valley's current folkways; but that doesn't mean it's hard to read. It's also got some amazing photos. And I'm really grateful to at last have a recipe for "ham-pot pie"!
