内容説明

This text is a travel companion to small town and big city Americana, places that call themselves "capital of the world" for unique reasons. Whether its famous food (bagels), or a popular sport (rope jumping), fishing (trout or carp), a natural wonder (garlic or watermelon), or a natural phenomena - the communities featured here have made a name for themselves in "Main Street" America. It mixes a celebration of local pride and American heritage with a practical traveller's guide to local festivals, museums and landmarks. The book covers 350 of America's "capitals of the world" - good food, sport, home-grown crops, arts, crafts and culture. It includes addresses and phone numbers - to plan a trip or find out more - and an index of festivals, museums, and off-beat and historic landmarks.
