STUDY OUTLINE SERIES TRAVEL IN THE UNITED STATES A STUDY OUTLINE PREPARED BY C. E. FANNING THE H. W. WILSON COMPANY WHITE PLAINS. N. Y.. AND NEW YORK CITY 1916 The Study Outline and Its Use The series will include outlines on art, litera ture, travel, biography, history and present day questions. The outlines vary in length. If more topics are given than the number of club meetings for the season, those topics that are more difficult to handle or on which there is less available material, may be dropped. If there are fewer topics than the scheduled meetings, certain topics may be divided. Lists of books are appended to most of the outlines. It would be well for the club to own some of the recommended books. Others can be obtained either from the local public library or from the state traveling library. When very full lists are given it is not necessary for any club to use all the books, but the longer list leaves more room for choice. The best material on some subjects may be found, not in books, but in magazines. These may be looked up under the subject in the Readers Guide to Periodical Literature. Maga zine articles and illustrated material may be ob tained from the Wilson Package Library. For terms see fourth page of cover. A list of the study outlines now in print will be found on page three of this cover. For later additions to the list write to publisher. TRAVEL IN THE UNITED STATES TWENTY-ONE PROGRAMS AND BIBLIOGRAPHY PREPARED BY C. E. FANNING A REVISION OF AN OUTLINE ISSUED BY THE WISCONSIN FREE LIBRARY COMMISSION IN 1908 THE H. W. WILSON COMPANY WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., AND NEW YORK CITY 1916 INTRODUCTORY NOTE The advertising slogan See America First" has greatly enlarged the proportion of clubs that plan to devote a year to the study of the United States. An out line for such a study program was published in 1908 by the Wisconsin Free Library Commission, and was found very satisfactory by many clubs. As it is now out of print it has been taken as a basis for the outline printed on the following pages. It is designedly very full ; first, to meet the needs of clubs wishing to study in detail all parts of the country and, second, to accommodate those preferring to make a choice for a short program. Many rearrangements of the topics may be made without sacrificing completeness or proper sequence of subjects, for example, such headings as "Historic Landmarks of New England," or "Literary Shrines near Boston." The sub-topics adapt the outline to the needs of those clubs which expect all members to study for each meeting and then join in a general discussion under a leader. Throughout the outline, references are inserted which lead the club member directly to helpful reading, but these are understood to be only a part of the necessary preparation for a well presented topic. Any encyclopedia will prove an invaluable aid on every topic. The Readers Guide will indicate interesting magazine articles on nearly every subject. The government issues many documents that are more helpful than books on the national parks. Railroads issue every season advertising booklets that describe scenery reached by their lines. Rand and Me- 333401 Xally and the Foster and Reynolds Co. (Xew York) pub lish guidebooks at twenty-five cents apiece that are helpful for the study of large cities. Constant watch should also be kept for new books that will replace those listed be cause so little stands still in this progressive country that the best description is soon out of date. To comply with the recommendation of the League of Library Commissions, the bibliography appended to this outline is divided into two parts. The first represents the books most helpful for the important topics. The second contains titles that should be consulted if available. Large libraries will have many more excellent books which may supplement these brief lists. STUDY OUTLINE ON TRAVEL IN THE UNITED STATES I NEW ENGLAND 1.
