Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Story of the American Flag: With Patriotic Selections and Incidents To the loyal American citizen, wandering in a foreign land no sight is more welcome or more heart-stirring, than the sight of the dear old Stars and Stripes. With what courage and self-devotion does the soldier follow the beloved flag amidst the smoke and carnage of battle, shedding his blood freely to maintain its honor, dying, it may be, in its defense. To every true heart, the flag is not merely a piece of bunting, backed by the power and authority of Government, to enforce its recognition, nor is it merely the emblem of his land, or the insignia of the Nation, but it is the embodiment of a principle, the symbol of those sacred truths handed down to us by the Past as a precious inheritance, and which, if we are not traitors to the trust. Will be as sacredly transmitted by us to the future. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Flag of Stripes and Stars: Mirror of the Nation's History, Symbol of Brotherhood and World UnityThe Americans in khaki enjoy comforts and privileges to which those in the buff and blue or of the sky-blue uniform of 1812, 1848 or 1861 were strangers. Crowning all, are the right and pleasure of fighting under the national flag once the privilege of the sailor only. We must, if true to history, distinguish between regimental colors and the national standard.It is a proof and one, on the whole, which is rather credit able to our people, of the reality of the more perfect union sought and provided for by our fathers, in the constitution of 1787, that, in the popular mind, things relating to the national colors are supposed to have been always what they are now. It is taken for granted that the thirteen-striped flag of the united colonies, from Jan. 2, 1776, and of the United States from July 4, l776, 'to June 14, 1777, when the stars were added, was, as a matter of course, carried in bat tle and was familiary known by sight to every one. A large majority of the hundred or more popular artists and writers on this subject proceed upon this one obsession.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The American Flag written by George Perry and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Flag: An Oration Delivered by Rev. George Perry in Shoshoni, Wyoming, November 29th, 1917 Man must sacrifice himself for the help and comfort of other men, and for succeeding generations. The toiler in mill or mine, the worker in shop, store or office, the inventor, philanthropist, physician, the brain worker, and all men engaged in any honest endeavor are sacrificing their time, energy, and talents that others may enjoy the results of their labors. While man is making a sacrifice for the benefit of others he is also receiving benefits for himself, and realizes the satisfaction that comes from deeds accomplished, and victories won. The highest and most noble example of moral sacrifice, in this day, is the soldier who leaves a comfortable home, kind friends, pleasant companions, and enters a conflict that requires all his physical and mental energies. He knows of the hardship and dangers ahead, and yet, unconsciously, he is making a sacrifice that others may enjoy liberty, peace and the pursuit of happiness. In these stirring times, which demand so much from our loyalty, and patriotism, and when the display of the National Emblem should inspire not only cheering, but also reverence and respect for that for which it stands, a discussion of how the eagle became our nation's symbol seems especially fitting. It is probable that few have ever given a thought as to why the eagle was adopted as our national bird. It is in no way particularly significant of America, and is not purely an American bird. The subject was given considerable thought by our forefathers and soon after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, John Hancock was placed at the head of a committee whose attention was turned to creating a national flag or seal. When this committee te ported to Congress, none of the designs submitted seemed suitable to that body, although Jefferson had worked out a shield, containing something symbolical of all the peoples that entered into the making of America; the Government represented-as a herculean figure with a giant club, standing between Vice and Virtue, was John Adams' idea: Franklin had created a seal, using the story of Pharaoh pur suing the Hebrews into the Red Sea.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAACP IMAGE AWARD WINNER • A dramatic expansion of a groundbreaking work of journalism, The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story offers a profoundly revealing vision of the American past and present. “[A] groundbreaking compendium . . . bracing and urgent . . . This collection is an extraordinary update to an ongoing project of vital truth-telling.”—Esquire NOW AN EMMY-NOMINATED HULU ORIGINAL DOCUSERIES • FINALIST FOR THE KIRKUS PRIZE • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, NPR, Esquire, Marie Claire, Electric Lit, Ms. magazine, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist In late August 1619, a ship arrived in the British colony of Virginia bearing a cargo of twenty to thirty enslaved people from Africa. Their arrival led to the barbaric and unprecedented system of American chattel slavery that would last for the next 250 years. This is sometimes referred to as the country’s original sin, but it is more than that: It is the source of so much that still defines the United States. The New York Times Magazine’s award-winning 1619 Project issue reframed our understanding of American history by placing slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative. This book substantially expands on that work, weaving together eighteen essays that explore the legacy of slavery in present-day America with thirty-six poems and works of fiction that illuminate key moments of oppression, struggle, and resistance. The essays show how the inheritance of 1619 reaches into every part of contemporary American society, from politics, music, diet, traffic, and citizenship to capitalism, religion, and our democracy itself. This book that speaks directly to our current moment, contextualizing the systems of race and caste within which we operate today. It reveals long-glossed-over truths around our nation’s founding and construction—and the way that the legacy of slavery did not end with emancipation, but continues to shape contemporary American life.

Download or read book Congotay Congotay A Global History of Caribbean Food written by Candice Goucher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1492, the distinct cultures, peoples, and languages of four continents have met in the Caribbean and intermingled in wave after wave of post-Columbian encounters, with foods and their styles of preparation being among the most consumable of the converging cultural elements. This book traces the pathways of migrants and travellers and the mixing of their cultures in the Caribbean from the Atlantic slave trade to the modern tourism economy. As an object of cultural exchange and global trade, food offers an intriguing window into this world. The many topics covered in the book include foodways, Atlantic history, the slave trade, the importance of sugar, the place of food in African-derived religion, resistance, sexuality and the Caribbean kitchen, contemporary Caribbean identity, and the politics of the new globalisation. The author draws on archival sources and European written descriptions to reconstruct African foodways in the diaspora and places them in the context of archaeology and oral traditions, performance arts, ritual, proverbs, folktales, and the children's song game "Congotay." Enriching the presentation are sixteen recipes located in special boxes throughout the book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The White Flag At that minute she sighed with satisfaction, thinking Of her wonderful achievement in marrying Mahlon Spellman; but with the thought came the memory Of the duties that such a marvellous alliance entailed. At the present minute it was her duty to Slip from their bed 80 quietly that Mahlon, the bread winner, the bearer of large gifts, the roof of the house, might have a few minutes more sleep. She slipped her feet into her bedroom shoes, tiptoed to the closet, and gathering up her clothing, stole softly to her one of the three bathrooms Of the town, where, with exacting care, she made her toilet for the morning, aided by the magnificence of a tin tub and a marble bowl that absorbed stains with disconcerting ease. She glanced from the Window to watch the small town Of Ashwater waking to the dawn Of the first Monday Of September. It lay among the hills and valleys Of rolling country. A river wound around it following a leisurely course toward the sea. Ashwater was one Of the Oldest towns Of the state, peopled by self-respecting merchants, professional men who took time to follow the ramifications Of their business in a deliberate manner, and retired farmers who were enjoying, in late life, the luxury Of being in close touch with social, political, and religious activities. It was early morning. The sun was slanting across the hills, showing the country brilliant in autumnal foliage. A blood-red maple lifted like a flame in her line Of Vision, and close to it was the tapestry of buckeye and the rich brown of oak. The big white colonial house in which she.
