Between Alamo and Gettysburg Memorial - this is where Judith Dupre placed the Amistad as one of the great American Monuments in her recently published book: "Monuments: America's History in Art and Memory". 

In the author's words: "Monuments are our response to the collective need to remember, revisit, and delineate the dreams of history. The best memorials are not mere relics, but extraordinarily rich communications from the past, living history books that illuminate societal, political, and cultural values at specific moments in time."

MUCH MORE than a "coffee table" book!  Getting five stars readers' reviews - highly recommended as a gift and opportunity to learn American History.

"...  fascinating and unusual book is beautifully produced..."

"...Wow, and wow again!"

"...The sheer beauty of this book shines on every page..."

"...both thoughtful and captivating..."
