|||||||||||||
The We the People Bookshelf at EDSITEmentEDSITEment and the National Endowment for the Humanities, offers resources to help libraries apply for and use their We the People Bookshelf collections. 2009-2010: Picturing AmericaThe "Picturing America" Bookshelf ThemeThe We the People "Picturing America" Bookshelf is the literary complement of NEH's Picturing AmericaSM visual arts project. Instead of paint, marble, silver, or glass, words are the media used to portray significant themes in American history and culture. Readers are invited to steer their way across the continent by river with Lewis and Clark in 1802, travel the railroad with Robert Lewis Stevenson in 1879, or drive along the open highways with John Steinbeck and his dog Charley in 1960. Through the life and poetry of Walt Whitman emerge powerful images of the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln; through the life and lens of Dorothea Lange we witness the impersonal forces and human faces of the Depression.
