Trace: Memory, History, Race, and the American Landscape by Lauret Savoy

Prompt: A Book by an Author of a Different Ethnicity Than Myself

"I read to learn about new things, and this book contained many: a family trip to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon along a nearly-impassable road; a forgotten book (Alien Land by Willard Savoy) found serendipitously in a library; Paul Sluby, first certified black genealogist, and the Woodlawn Cemetery in Washington, DC. Most wonderfully, the epilogue described the author's thrill of finding a fossil specimen that turned out to be a new genus and species." — Margaret
