I've read this book several times over the years we've had it in the family. I remember being particularly intrigued by the photo of the table in the Governor's Mansion.

The book is written simply enough that young readers could enjoy it. The photos are all taken by Walter H. Miller--considering this is copyright 1962, he was using film photography (which is harder to get right than digital photography where you can see the result almost right away to know if you need to take another photo). I was amazed by the quality of the photos. ( )
