Americana
From its colonial beginnings, America quickly developed its own distinctive culture. A wealth of artifacts and literature, known as Americana, has grown up around the country’s progress. While patriotism and nostalgia certainly play a role in our love of Americana, its appeal also lies in our fascination with history, culture, and politics. Americana enthusiasts may appreciate books that focus on early history, such as the Revolutionary War. Other collectors concentrate on specific regions of the United States, or on major American political figures.
