About this product

Product Information

Originally named Shangri-La by Franklin D. Roosevelt, today's Camp David was an official secret until its existence was revealed after World War II. A US Naval facility set on a mountaintop, Camp David's tight security has long piqued the curiosity of Americans and foreigners. Prior to the outbreak of war, Roosevelt had access to the nearly presidential yacht as a "getaway" to escape the pressures of life in the White House. After a brief search of nearby locations, a site on Catoctin Mountain in Maryland was chosen as the place for the presidential retreat. it remained Shangri La until President Eisenhower said the name was "just a little fancy for a Kansas farm boy" and renamed it Camp David after his father and grandson in 1953. It has served as retreat for each succeeding president and, in addition to providing rest and relaxation, has been the setting of several historic meetings. Robert P. Savitt writers and lectures on a variety of historical subjects. He holds a doctoral degree from Georgetown University, served in the Department of Defense and State, and was legislative director for a US senator. Savitt has authored three previous Arcadia Publishing titles. The Images of America series celebrates the history of neighborhoods, towns, and cities across the country. Using archival photographs, each title presents the distinctive stories from the past that shape the character of the community today. Arcadia is proud to play a part in the preservation of local heritage, making history available to all.
