505 0  God blessed America -- Jews without money -- From sea to 
       shining sea -- Come on and hear! -- Oklahoma hills -- 
       Rockets' red glare -- An atmosphere that simply reeks with
       class -- If you ain't got the do re mi -- Storm clouds 
       gather -- The faith that the dark past has taught us -- My
       pastures of plenty must always be free -- Freedom's road -
       - These songs were made for you and me. 
520    Near the end of the Great Depression and the beginning of 
       World War II, a homeless Dust Bowl refugee named Woody 
       Guthrie originally drafted "This Land Is Your Land" as an 
       anthem that encompassed the tough realities of those dark 
       times--and as a rebuttal to Irving Berlin's "God Bless 
       America." But the song that Guthrie despised had its own 
       complexities. Irving Berlin had risen from homelessness 
       before becoming America's most successful songwriter, and 
       penned his song partly in response to Hitler's rise 
       overseas. In This Land That I Love, music-writer and 
       composer John Shaw writes the dual biography of these 
       beloved American songs, at the same time shedding new 
       light on our patriotic musical heritage, from "Yankee 
       Doodle" and "The Star-Spangled Banner" to Martin Luther 
       King's quotation of "My Country 'Tis of Thee" on the steps
       of the Lincoln Memorial in August 1963. Delving into the 
       deeper history of war songs, minstrelsy, ragtime, country 
       music, folk music, and African American spirituals, Shaw 
       unearths a rich vein of half-forgotten patriotic and 
       musical traditions. With the aid of new archival research,
       he uncovers new details about the songs' composition, 
       including a never-before-printed verse for "This Land Is 
       Your Land." The result is a fascinating narrative that 
       refracts and re-envisions America's tumultuous history 
       through the prism of two unforgettable anthems.
