Written during WWII, to give Americans an idea of what they were fighting for, Pocket Book of America is a collection of patriotic short stories, essays, speeches, sayings and slogans. Some of the stories may be a bit dated; but "The Man without a Country," is still a must read. I memorised Lincoln's Gettysburg Address from this book. Overall, it is a good source of written Americana.
