Etched in Stone

Etched in Stone
By Ryan Coonerty
Hardcover, 192 pages ($30)

For centuries, humans have carved in stone to commemorate achievements, honor leaders and remember horrendous moments in history so they might never be repeated. America is rich in such monuments, and writer Cooney (with photographer Carol Highsmith) movingly spotlights 50 of them, which chronicle our nation’s colorful, sometimes turbulent past and hold to the ideals on which our country was built.
