Six states, a city called Boston, and home of the original Yankees - that's New England. It can claim to be the first clearly-defined region of the United States, without which there might not be a United States. Tucked away in the northeast corner of" the land, closest to the country that gave it its name, England, it was from New England that the earliest revolutionary talk came and where the first shot was fired in the American Revolution. To look at some of" these perfect pastoral landscapes today, New England hardly has the look of revolutionary fervor, although the area still has a reputation for political individuality. That applies to some states more than others, of the six that make up New England: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island andVermont. The region's largest center is Boston, always a maverick among American cities. It probably has more nicknames than any other city in the States, known among other things as The City on the Hill, The Athens of America, The

Matchless essays on wine, food, and travel by "our prize chronicler of sensuous experience." --Times Literary Supplement Sybille Bedford once wrote that "travel writing is inseparable from the writer's tastes, idiosyncrasies, and general temperament--it is what happens to him when he is confronted with a column, a bird, a sage, a cheat, a riot; wine, fruit, dirt; the delay in the dirt, the failing airplane." Pleasures and Landscapes is what happened to Mrs. Bedford when, at the peak of her literary powers, she traveled through France, Italy, and the rest of Europe for Vogue, Esquire, and other magazines --eight classic essays that secure her a place at the table with A. J. Liebling and M. F. K. Fisher.

"This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; thedew is never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor ever rising...each in its turn, as the round earth rolls." So observed John Muir, the naturalist, writer, and conservationist who fought to protect America's wild lands.Today the system of national parks he helped to create stretches from shore to shore, preserving nature's grand show for future generations. Native Americans were the first guardians of the land, taking only what they needed to survive and living in harmony with nature. For their descendants, mountains, canyons, and other features of the landscape are the spiritual connections with their ancestors, stretching back to ancient times. Many parks and monuments in the West are located on tribal lands.
