An interesting book I found, though it doesn't discuss archaeological
sites or "public" architecture is "The bird, the banner, and Uncle
Sam: Images of America in Folk and Popular Art," (ISBN-0-397-31691-7
pbk.) Elinor Lander Horowitz, J. Roderick Moore, Consultant. "Summary:
Discusses the patriotic symbols and heroes of the American people and
their use in past and present art and craft objects" - U.S. Library of
Congress Cataloging in Publication Data. Printed by the J. B.
Lippincott Company, Philadelphia and New York.
