The former director of the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Danilov has assembled a comprehensive guide to over 600 living history museums and historical sites across the United States. While the book necessarily includes well-known sites such as Colonial Williamsburg and Valley Forge, its strength is the extensive listing of comparatively little known sites and museums, including historic houses, farms, plantations, ranches, trading posts, settler and military forts, navy ships, and battlefields. Each listing describes the history of the site or museum, its contents, and the living history techniques that are in use, and many entries are illustrated with photographs. The book would be even more useful if it included a cross-reference to sites according to state and city. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
