Excerpt from Peter and Nancy, in the United States and Alaska EE America first Peter and Nancy had heard that famous slogan many, many times before it was actually possible for them to take advantage of it. But when Uncle Lee finally did make his plans, they proved to be most exciting. We'll start our journey where the United States began, he declared, and we'll move west ward just as our pioneer ancestors did. Peter and Nancy want you to go with them on this journey - all of you who love America. You will visit all corners of our interesting and delightful country - East, West, North, South - and Alaska, too. You will see Washington, the capital of these United States, and other great eastern cities. Then, moving westward from the Atlantic Ocean as the early settlers did, you will reach the great Mississippi Valley. Led still by the spirit of adventure, you will travel over rich farm lands, great cities, vast deserts, and high mountains until you reach the blue Pacific.
