The fifth in a series designed to reflect, as they appear, the composition of exhibits commemorative of each of the 48 United States. The vast treasures of book and manuscript and pictorial material contained in the collections of the Library of Congress include a record of the American achievement in terms of the community, and constitute a moving and significant and tangible part of the American inheritance.
