"When the standard of the Union is raised and waves over my head-the standard which Washington planted on the ramparts of the Constitution, God forbid that I should inquire whom the people have commissioned to unfurl it, and bear it up; I only ask in what manner, as an humble individual, I can best discharge my duty in defending it." -Daniel Webster, Our Flag (1872) Our Flag: Origin and Progress of the Flag of the United States of America (1872) by George Henry Preble details the origins and use of flags, standards, and banners in Europe and Asia before delving into their use and history in the U.S. This edition is an original illustrated replica including 12 color plates of the flags of ancient and modern nations, the American states, the U.S. Navy, and Southern flags of the Civil War. Preble's in-depth research of the flag is certain to educate and enlighten any reader interested in learning more about this iconic symbol.
