Category:PD-old-US

Works in this category are from the United States and in the public domain because they were not legally published with the permission of the copyright holder before January 1, 2003 and the author died more than 70 years ago. These are posthumous works and their copyrights in certain countries and areas may depend on years since posthumous publication, rather than years since the author's death. Translations or editions published later may be copyrighted.

These works may be in the public domain in countries and areas with longer native copyright terms that apply the rule of the shorter term to foreign works.
