American City Flags, by John M. Purcell with James A. Croft and Rich Monahan
Raven 9/10, covering 2002 and 2003, appears as a special double issue, American City Flags. This milestone vexillological work contains 150 articles dedicated to descriptions and histories of municipal flags of the United States. The cities represented include the largest 100 cities in the country, at least two cities per state, and all state capitals.
This double volume parallels the landmark 1996–1997 double issue Flags of the Native Peoples of the United States. Dr. Purcell and entire the editorial team was awarded the coveted Vexillon by the Fédération internationale des associations veillologiques in 2005 for the most important contribution to world vexillology in the previous two years. The companion volume Canadian City Flags was published in 2011.
