Symbols of America is a comprehensive consolidation of numerous and varied sources of information that are often dispersed across the internet, academic papers, and historical documents. By bringing together these diverse materials into a single, cohesive volume, we aim to provide readers with an accessible and thorough understanding of the symbols that define American culture and identity. From the personification of national ideals to the significance of iconic buildings and monuments, this book delves into the many facets of American symbols, ensuring that readers have a well-rounded perspective on their historical and contemporary significance.

The contents of this book are meticulously curated to offer both depth and breadth, covering a wide range of symbols, from national music and natural icons to founding era writings and key documents. Each chapter is designed to present detailed insights and context, helping readers appreciate how these symbols have shaped and continue to influence the American ethos. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a student, or simply curious about the symbols that represent the United States, this book serves as a valuable resource, saving you the time and effort of piecing together information from scattered sources.  
A reference table is included at the end of each vignette to aid in further research of the specific topic without it becoming lost in a long reference table in the back of the book.  Many hyperlinks are included to add in finding the references as well.  When available, I have attempted to include links to libraries offering downloads of the reference or public “check out”. 

Importantly, the proceeds from the sale of this book are dedicated to supporting the Tennessee Society, Sons of the American Revolution (TNSSAR). These funds will be allocated to historical and educational programs that focus on the founding principles of the republic and the Constitution of the United States. By purchasing this book, you are not only gaining a comprehensive resource on American symbols, but also contributing to the preservation and promotion of American history and values.

The Tennessee Society, Sons of the American Revolution, is committed to honoring the legacy of the nation's founders through various initiatives. Your support helps fund educational programs that teach future generations about the importance of liberty, democracy, and the rule of law. Additionally, these funds aid in preserving historical sites and documents, ensuring that the rich heritage of the United States remains vibrant and accessible for years to come.
