Hi Starstones,

    Not yet. It has to have been published before 1923. from Wikipedia: 

          The Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 extended
          copyright terms in the United States by 20 years. Before the
          act, an author's copyright would last until fifty years after
          his death. After the act, an author's copyright would last
          until seventy years after his death, while copyrights for
          works of corporate authorship would last 75 to 95 years. The
          act also affected copyright terms for copyrighted works
          published prior to January 1, 1978, increasing their term of
          protection by 20 years as well. This effectively 'froze' the
          advancement date of the public domain in the United States for
          works covered by the older fixed term copyright rules. Under
          this act, no additional works made in 1923 or after, that were
          still copyrighted in 1998, will enter the public domain until
          2019. Unlike copyright extension legislation in the European
          Union, the Sonny Bono Act did not revive copyrights that had
          already expired. However, the act did extend terms already set
          by previous acts, and is retroactive in that sense....
