From Publisher:

The story of America's Heartland, still unfolding, is a vivid and epic tale of hopes, dreams, and sometimes harsh realities; of the migrant's spirit of adventure and curiosity; of humming factories and expansive fields of golden corn; of small, close-knit communities and sophisticated cities, evolving since prehistoric times in a landscape of rare beauty. The nation's geographical center and crossroads, this region also drives America's economy with both industry -- leading the world in automobile manufacturing and introducing household names like Ford and Kellogg -- and agriculture, from the breadbasket state of Kansas to the green fields of Wisconsin, America's Dairyland. The people of the Heartland have long been considered the unofficial keepers of the national conscience, providing a kind of moral anchor by preserving solid, honest values in the face of sometimes bewildering social change.
