This book is dedicated to the North American Continent, the American Dream. It is an exercise in discovery and rediscovery, a quest for elusive dimensions of beauty and truth, for values untarnished by time but often eroded by neglect.
The North American continent is fascinating in its scenic variety and grandeur. It has every sort of natural formation known to man. The Magnificent Continent presents North America's past and present in 320 memorable pages. Her story is told in over 270 beautiful color photographs with 200 drawings and maps accompanied by interesting and informative prose. The Magnificent Continent is an impressive volume to be enjoyed by everyone.

The unsurpassed beauty of North America, more than that of any other continent, is awesome in its grandeur, spectacular in its diversity and sometimes breathtaking in its sheer size. To a fabulous array of natural wonders, Americans boldly added their own, often revolutionary in form and construction

The Magnificent Continent is a tribute to North America, to its soaring mountains spires, its stark mesas and gaping canyons, to its rugged shores, haunting lakes, meandering rivers and thunderous waterfalls, to its proud, brooding forest and formidable deserts, to its magical subterranean caverns and vast undulating plains, to its sprawling cities and back country hamlets, to the continent's grandiose spectrum of wondrous sites and aspects.
