Description

Have you ever wondered why the American colors are red, white, and blue? Do you know that our national mascot used to be almost a turkey fairly than a bald eagle? Are you able to trace your family’s ancestry back to the Mayflower Pilgrims, or perhaps to a cowboy of the Old West? Do you think you want to spend Thanksgiving watching footraces fairly than televised football or eating venison and oysters fairly than turkey? Many people have played with Lincoln Logs, but Do you know that they were named after President Abraham Lincoln, who used to be born in a log cabin?
Symbols have all the time played a a very powerful role in shaping our identity as a country. The American buffalo, the Statue of Liberty, the Mayflower, and Uncle Sam himself have all helped convey to the world the American values of liberty and democracy.
Delno and Jean West’s lively prose unveils the stories in the back of The us’s symbols, complemented by Christopher Manson’s handsome woodcuts, which perfectly convey the rugged individualism of the American spirit.
