| These books take an in-depth look at each of the American symbols at the center of focus. Each book provides the reader with information about the symbol's location, history, and features; it also explains why the symbol is significant to the American people. The history of the symbol and individuals involved with its development are covered in detail, while primary source materials, like advertisements for design competitions and original drawings (available through the National Park Service) highlight the text. Access features, such as text boxes, charts, and maps, help enhance the running text. The series connects symbols and institutions with the study of American history and citizenship, at the same time linking to national and state standards for the teaching of national symbols, cultural identity, history, government, and citizenship.
