The Fourth of July celebration was once filled with patriotic festivities, where neighborhoods trimmed their tree tops with flags and bunting and drew together for united merrymaking. Although this day is still highly recognized, nothing re-creates the true spirit of this commemoration like taking a nostalgic look at Independence Days of yesteryear. Diane C. Arkins has compiled a colorful anthology of inspiring old-time poems, evocative prose, decorating and party ideas, games, and festive menus spanning the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. With such a vast assortment of material, this book gives a splendid remembrance of the revelry of the past.

Red, White, and Blue celebrates the American flag by describing what it means to one small child. Using innovative textile artwork, Laurie Lazzaro Knowlton illustrates the poetic text as she explains what the flag’s three colors represent, 'sacrifice, loyalty, pride.' As the young heroine pedals her bike under a rippling flag, she declares, 'our people may be of every color, but we are united by the Red, White, and Blue.' This visual treat will introduce the meaning of our flag to even the youngest patriot.

Lee Greenwood’s contemporary anthem "God Bless the U.S.A." has touched the hearts of millions of Americans, inspiring a renewed spirit of national pride and patriotism. This platinum-selling song underscores the reasons Americans are willing to sacrifice in the name of freedom and democracy and expresses gratitude to those who have paid the ultimate price.
