Landmarks of Liberty: A Report on the American Revolution Bicentennial Development Program of the National Park Service
Mattes MJ. 1989. Landmarks of Liberty: A Report on the American Revolution Bicentennial Development Program of the National Park Service. Washington, D.C.
This is a comprehensive narrative of all significant accomplishments of the National Park Service in the specially funded development program identified with the American Revolution Bicentennial, In this context "development" is synonymous with "capital improvement," or the enhancement of historic properties in permanent tangible ways, as distinguished from activities, however valid or inspirational, that are ephemeral in character. Special exhibits, living history demonstrations, pageants, parades, and other such events belong to history as soon as they have occurred. In contrast, the improvements described herein were designed to serve posterity, even to the Tricentennial, as well as today's public.
