Beschreibung

Paths Erased explores the fascinating world of ancient roads and lost pathways, revealing how these forgotten routes shaped civilizations. The book highlights the intricate relationships between societies and their environments by examining the construction, utilization, and eventual abandonment of these vital arteries.

 
Discover how the Roman road system facilitated trade and military campaigns, while also acknowledging the environmental impact and displacement of indigenous populations caused by routes like the Oregon Trail.

 
The book unfolds in three parts, beginning with an introduction to the historical and archaeological significance of "erased paths." It then examines the environmental changes, political instability, and technological advancements that led to their disappearance, such as the Mayan causeways' abandonment due to deforestation.

 
Finally, the book details the methods used by archaeologists and historians to rediscover these pathways, including satellite imagery analysis and archaeological excavation. By studying these forgotten routes, we gain a unique lens through which to understand the dynamics of past civilizations and draw lessons for present-day challenges in infrastructure and cultural preservation.

President Biden’s German shepherds, Major and the late Champ, are the latest in a long line of presidential dogs.

From the assassination of President’s Lincoln’s dog after Lincoln’s own death to President’s Hoover’s Belgian shepherd, King Tut, who helped President Hoover win the election after appearing in a campaign photo, these furry members of the first family often had a lasting impact on the administrations that kept them.
As historian-in-residence at the Presidential Pet Museum, Andrew Hager will include original research and rare photographs from the National Archives to trace the history of America’s first dogs. From post-Revolutionary dogs, to Civil War era dogs, to Cold War dogs, Hager will show the differences and similarities of how our nation viewed man’s best friend.
