Story
Surprising and delightfully engrossing, Americanon explores the true history of thirteen of the nation’s most popular books. Overlooked for centuries, our simple dictionaries, spellers, almanacs, and how-to manuals are the unexamined touchstones for American cultures and customs. These books sold tens of millions of copies and set out specific archetypes for the ideal American, from the self-made entrepreneur to the humble farmer.

Story
A bride's veil catches fire. The groom in an interfaith marriage is kidnapped by his irate parents. An elderly organist, momentarily disoriented, bangs out a rousing rendition of It's a Grand Old Flag as the horrified bride starts down the aisle. A libidinous groom, fresh from the altar and sporting his new wedding ring, tries to pick up one of the bridesmaids' and even though she rebuffs him, he rushes back to her side after the cake has been cut to redouble his efforts.

Story
As scholars of African American literature and cultural history, Bennett and McCarthy repeatedly find themselves struck by the number of exciting poets they come across in long-out-of-print collections and forgotten journals, whose work has been neglected and, in some cases, entirely ignored, even by those academic circles devoted to the study of Black poetry. Minor Notes is an excavation initiative that addresses this problem by recovering archival materials from these understudied, though supremely gifted, African American poets of the 19th and 20th centuries.
