This book is a detailed reference work about holidays and special observances established by statute in the United States, including American Samoa, the District of Columbia, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. United Nations-designated holidays and special “years” are also included.
Following the day-by-day section, holidays are listed chronologically within their federal, state or territorial jurisdictions. A subject index offers access to particular observances (such as nursing, education, or peace), while a name index refers to holidays celebrating the lives of individuals.
