Set against the backdrop of slavery; civil war; westward expansion; and the rise of American industry; their story unfolds through forgotten correspondence and long-silenced voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBound by marriage; rivalry; and ambition; the families move through the seismic upheavals of the 19th century; leaving their imprint on both the visible and invisible architecture of a young nation. A self-taught inventor challenges the boundaries of class and knowledge; a literary matriarch courts both fame and infamy; and a generation raised in the shadow of war must contend with the costs of memory and silence. As buried secrets surface and reputations unravel; the narrative traces not only the forging of an American legacy-but the reckoning that follows.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patricia Slagle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48219040940183,"sku":"9798218814724","price":2215.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798218814724.webp?v=1788746165","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/an-american-tapestry-9798218814724","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
