Spirit of America, The Magic of America By Dan Valentine

Dan Valentine’s Spirit of America (American Essays No. 9): The Magic of America is a vintage patriotic booklet originally published in 1972. 

Written by the popular Salt Lake City journalist and columnist Dan Valentine, this staple-bound publication is part of his "American Essays" series designed to boost public morale and celebrate Americana. Instead of single long-form poems, these booklets are collections of nostalgic anecdotes, inspirational word portraits, and lesser-known historical trivia from the American past.
