Discover a sweeping love letter to the United States that captures the very soul of a national anthem. America Why I Love Her is a timeless masterpiece written from the heart of actor, poet, and singer John Mitchum. Famously narrated and brought to life by Hollywood legend John Wayne, this emotionally stirring poem endorses the raw beauty, grit, and enduring history of the American landscape. Born from Mitchum's own youth hoboing across the rails of America, the verses reflect a deep, firsthand appreciation for the country's vast topography-from the roaring waters of Niagara Falls and the snow-capped Rocky Mountains to the tranquil bayous of Louisiana and the blazing Nevada skies. Beautifully compiled by artist and author Katie West alongside Mitchum's daughter, Cindy Mitchum, this vibrant, full-color book pairs profound patriotic verses with breathtaking imagery. It stands as a powerful testament to the generations who fought for freedom and a reminder of why our nation's legacy remains so uniquely beautiful beneath God's wide sky. Perfect for patriots, history lovers, and fans of classic Americana, this book preserves the final audibly clear message of a great American patriot.
