"The Magic of America," a typescript of over 1,400 pages with approximately 650 accompanying illustrations, was written and compiled by Marion Mahony Griffin (1871-1961), architect, designer, delineator, and artist.

"The Magic of America: Electronic Edition" is a project of the Ryerson and Burnham Libraries of The Art Institute of Chicago. The Digital Text is based on the two copies (AIC1, AIC2) of "The Magic of America" (MoA) at the Art Institute. Any missing or additional text was transcribed from the New-York Historical Society's copy (N-YHS) of MoA. Illustrations have been scanned from N-YHS and sequenced within the text according to that copy.
