ISBN:
First published in 1915 and widely expanded throughout the early to mid-20th century by the Hall & McCreary Company, The Golden Book of Favorite Songs (subtitled "A Treasury of the Best Songs of Our People") is a quintessential American compilation of choral and vocal sheet music. Designed for use in public schools, community sing-alongs, and family gatherings around the piano, the book serves as a historical archive of the foundational repertoire of traditional vocal performance.

The volume compiles over 200 songs complete with their lyrics, vocal parts, and piano arrangements. The song selection is highly diverse, ranging from patriotic anthems like "The Star-Spangled Banner" to traditional folk tunes, nursery rhymes, sentimental ballads, hymns, spirituals, and college songs. Alongside the musical scores, the anthology embeds prominent historical documentation and readings, including Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, the Pledge to the Flag, and brief histories detailing the cultural origin of America's best-loved melodies.
