PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 18, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Have you discovered everything there is to know about America? Prepare yourself for an unforgettable journey of discovering and re-discovering the locations that helped define the nation with the release of the new book Arcane America 101 of the Best Places You Never Heard of, co-authored by Jack Edward Shay and Betty Casey.
Arcane America is a compilation of over a hundred bits of America tucked away in hidden nooks of the country - obscure, unheralded, rarely visited corners of America waiting to entice you. Some are breathtakingly beautiful, others are emotionally haunting and ultimately all are unforgettable. Readers will find interesting places such as a Connecticut prison where inmates served their time chained to the bowels of a deserted copper mine; a rural Iowa county that spawned America's greatest western actor and a sextet of covered bridges; a New Jersey miniature kingdom whose beauty and artistry killed its creator; a New York county where you can ride the largest number of free carousels anywhere in the world, and so much more. Interestingly, Arcane America is created with a nod to armchair travelers, people who might never be able to venture beyond the horizons of their imaginations.
