each distinctively American holiday of patriotic sort. With the selections are given brief biographical notes and authentic data regarding the circumstances under which the pieces were composed. In every case the aim has been only to make clear, not to burden the reader with needless comment. In spite of the omission of much that might have been included, it is hoped that herein will be found every familiar selection that records a story of brave deeds, patriotic endeavor, or undying patriotism.
