From one of the world's leading graphic designers comes a stunning tribute to America's most enduring icon-the Stars and Stripes.The Revolutionary Congress resolved in 1777 that "the flag of the United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white, that the Union be 13 white stars in a blue field representing a new constellation." Since that time, the American flag has been raised high in wartime triumph and peacetime celebration; burned in fervent protest; sewn lovingly onto quilts, caps, pillows, and bags; appropriated by the commercial sphere to sell goods as varied as cigars, and designer clothing, and rock-and-roll albums; and faithfully honored every 4th of July to celebrate America's independence. This collection of more than 3,000 Stars and Stripes artifacts ranges from Civil War-era banners and Native American braided moccasins to an early 20th-century "friendship" kimono and original flag art by several of the world's leading designers. In its deluxe format with over 500 illustrations, LONG MAY SHE WAVE gives wide berth to the flag in all its manifestations, and the result is a stunning visual history of America'¬?s most treasured symbol.Full-color throughout, with over 500 illustrations in a deluxe 11 x 14-inch volume-LONG MAY SHE WAVE is the perfect gift for folk-art appreciators, history buffs, and collectors.Features the 3,000-piece exhibit that was displayed at the American Institute of Graphic Arts and the San Jose Museum of Art in 2000. From toy soldiers to collectable spoons, cigar blankets to historic flags—the breadth of the collection is unrivaled.For a list of appearances by this author, check out our Calendar of Events.

Sometime ago, while going through a little blue shoebox, left by my Grandmother Molly N. (Morgan) Chaney, I found a tract from the 1950s. Having read the bulletin sometime in the distant past, at the time it did not seem to be as important to me. At the top of the pamphlet on the front was a handwritten note, which read: This was written by a friend of ours. A wonderful man. He died last summer. The handwritten note was either from my Great-Uncle Jim Morgan or his wife, Great-Aunt Gladys. I know from another letter in his last years, she was writing for him as he dictated. Anyway, the tract is something special to me. Reading it now, I at once think about all the protesting, riots, and violence in the summer of 2020. It also caused me to think about the athletes kneeling during the National Anthem. Inside this booklet you'll find the text of the tract, Old Glory, written by E. K. Bailey of Seattle Washington expressing beautiful sentiments about our flag and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The tract tells a story about the compelling symbolism of our great country's flag, the Stars and Stripes. The story runs counter to many beliefs today which try to eliminate Christianity, Patriotism, and the principles and freedoms provided by the Declaration of Independence and Constitution with its Amendments. You will also find a few of the author's personal musings about patriotism, the current attacks against the founding principles of our great country, and the full text of the Star-Spangled Banner. This booklet is free to download and distribute in it's original form with no changes. For those patriots and Christians who would like, Hardback and Paperback versions are available for keepsakes.

Americans honor the flag with a fervor seen in few other countries: The Stars and Stripes decorate American homes and businesses; wave over sports events and funerals; and embellish everything from politicians' lapels to the surface of the moon. But what does the flag mean? In Capture the Flag, historian Woden Teachout reveals that it has held vastly different meanings over time. It has been claimed by both the right and left; by racists and revolutionaries; by immigrants and nativists. In tracing the political history of the flag from its origins in the American Revolution through the present day, Teachout demonstrates that the shifting symbolism of the flag reveals a broader shift in the definition of American patriotism. A story of a nation in search of itself, Capture the Flag offers a probing account of the flag that has become America's icon.
