Come visit the homes of Washington Irving, Longfellow, Emerson, Thoreau, The Alcotts, Hawthorne, Emily Dickinson, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mark Twain, Hemingway, Margaret Mitchell, and Robert Frost. What influenced some of America's most famous authors to become writers? Where did they live, and how did their homes contribute to the works they created? Where were their "Inspiration Points"? Clark and Carol Beim-Esche have traveled America to visit the homes and places where some of our greatest writers have lived and written. From the quiet beauty of rural New Hampshire to the urban streets of Atlanta, from the crystalline waters of Walden Pond to the mile-wide sweep of the muddy Mississippi, from the tranquil grace of Amherst, to the energetic pulse of Key West, experiencing these places has given us fresh perspectives on and insight into the literature they inspired. We invite you to travel along with us as we visit these fascinating homes. It will expand and deepen your understanding of and appreciation for what these great authors have achieved. We hope that you will agree with us that it is a journey well worth taking.
