Arlington National Cemetery: American History is a concise, comprehensive and easy to read document, for those 8 to 80. This work documents ANC's historical relations both before and after its inception. ANC is a huge repository for references of U.S. History.
While working at and researching ANC, the more facts I confirmed the more I began to feel like a treasure hunter addicted to discovering and verifying historical facts. The facts at ANC were like shells that line the shore, all beautiful and plenty to harvest.
Sample References: Astronauts, monuments, memorials, caissons, honor guards, tombs of the unknowns, Robert E. Lee memorial, Arlington House, Presidents, Notables, Custis Family, policy, requirements, supreme court justices, foreign nationals, rituals, Congressional Medal of Honors, processes and much more.
What I would anticipate a reader experience to be is the shock and awe factor. Shock and awe regarding the history you know, the history you didn't know and the history you thought you knew.
