Each display describes a particular aspect of United States history, culture, or philosophy. This new set of poster-sized placards mounted in standardized hardware is the fourth in a series of displays currently available to libraries, office buildings, and shopping plazas throughout the country. Charles Feinberg Collection in the Library of Congress's Manuscript Division, such as Walt Whitman's walking stick and railroad map and a letter of praise from Ralph Waldo Emerson, augments work by well known poets as Vachel Lindsay, Mary Austin, and Harry Kemp and others. Excerpts from works by Mark Twain, Jack London and Jack Kerouac are also featured along with portraits of native Americans by George Catlin.
Subscribers receive four displays per year, delivered quarterly.
Each comes in a portfolio carrying case and includes a supply of 250 pamphlets for distribution.
