United States Copyrighted Law
Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the U.S Constitution, also known
as the Copyright Clause, gives Congress the power to enact statutes to promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.
Congress first exercised this power with the enactment of the Copyright Act of 1790, and has changed and updated copyright statutes several times since. The Copyright Act of 1976, though it has been modified since its enactment, is currently the basis of copyright law in the United States.
The length of the copyright term within the United States was extended by the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act, which made the copyright term the life of the author plus 70 years for works created after January, 1 1978. In the case of a work of corporate authorship (also known as "Work for Hire") the term will be 95 years from the date of first publication or 120 years from the date of creation, whichever expires first. This legislation was challenged in court and affirmed by the US Supreme Court in the landmark copyright decision, Eldred v. Ashcroft (2003), in which the Supreme Court agreed that the length of the copyright term (ie, the period of time during which the copyright holder has a monopoly on its exploitation) could be extended by Congress after the original act of creation and beginning of the copyright term, as long as the extension itself was limited instead of perpetual. The duration of U.S. copyright for works created before 1978 is a complex matter; however, works published before 1923 are all in the public domain. In the US, after the death of a copyright holder, heirs inherit the copyright.

How does a book enter the public domain?
A book, or other copyrightable work, enters the public domain when its copyright lapses or when the copyright owner releases it to the public domain.
U.S. Government documents can never be copyrighted in the first place; they are "born" into the public domain.
There are certain other exceptional cases: for example, if a substantial number of copies were printed and distributed in the U.S. before March, 1989 without a copyright notice, and the work is of entirely American authorship, or was first published in the United States, the work is in the public domain in the U.S.
What can I do with a text that is in the public domain?
Anything you want! You can copy it, publish it, change its format, distribute it for free or for money. You can translate it to other languages (and claim a copyright on your translation), write a play based on it (if it's a novel), or a novelization (if it's a play). You can take one of the characters from the novel and write a comic strip about him or her, or write a screenplay and sell that to make a movie.
You don't need to ask permission from anyone to do any of this. When a text is in the public domain, it belongs as much to you as to anyone.
(However, when some character or part of the work is also trademarked, as in the case of Tarzan, it may not be possible to release new works with that trademark, since trademark does not expire in the same way as copyright. If you propose to base new works on public domain material, you should investigate possible trademark issues first.)
What books are in the public domain?
Any book published anywhere before 1923 is in the public domain in the U.S. This is the rule we use most.
U.S. Government publications are in the public domain. This is the rule under which we have published, for example, presidential inauguration speeches.
Books can be released into the public domain by the owners of their copyrights.
Some books published without a copyright notice in the U.S. prior to March 1st, 1989 are in the public domain.
Some books published before 1964, and whose copyright was not renewed, are in the public domain.
