The Fourth of July holiday is a profound time for our Nation to reflect on the blessings of being a beacon of hope and democratic freedom. As we mark an extraordinary milestone—America’s 250th anniversary—there is no better time to dive into American history and remember why we celebrate Independence Day.
This Independence Day, you can hold history in your hands with the official Pocket Constitution and Declaration of Independence from our U.S. History Collection. It is the perfect way to reconnect with the foundational texts that started it all 250 years ago on July 4th, 1776.
Beyond our founding documents, the U.S. Government Bookstore’s Pre-U.S. Colonial & American History collection offers unique insights into our Nation’s earliest days, including an extensive selection detailing the diverse histories of American Indian tribes. You can also bring this vibrant era to life with a beautiful set of colorful, detailed posters depicting pivotal events from the Revolutionary War, such as the American Navies, 1775-1783 (Poster), the British Redcoat, 1775-1783 (Poster), and The Continental Soldier in the War for American Independence (Poster).
Be inspired by the rich, complex stories of those who fought to ensure our Union was free and explore how the early American landscape evolved. To honor, enjoy, and memorialize America’s historic semiquincentennial, start your journey back to the days that shaped our Nation by visiting https://bookstore.gpo.gov/catalog/pre-us-colonial-american-history.
