The physical and natural beauty of the United States of America often is not given the recognition it deserves by its very own citizens. I selected the pieces of art included because they reveal what this beautiful country looked like before being depleted for greed and ignorance. In modern times, people yearn to travel abroad to places of beauty, but they fail to realize the beauty in their own backyard. This is an attempt for people to appreciate all America has to offer us.
