Abraham Lincoln 's face on a 25 cent air mail stamp issued in 1960 A Personal History of the United States written and narrated by Alistair Cooke 6: Gone West
From a cave in Kentucky once occupied by Daniel Boone to the California of the Gold Rush; ALISTAIR COOKE follows the route of the early pioneers.
It seems so natural only because Cooke, like Lord Clark, has complete mental possession of the visited territory.
