Detailed history of the song "America the Beautiful." Words were first a poem by Katherine Lee Bates, and music was first a hymn called "O Mother, Dear Jerusalem," by Samuel Word. Chance brought the poem and music together. Katherine revises the words several times and was inspired first on a cross country trip in 1893. The book covers the current national anthem.
