"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.

A standard work on royal genealogy, this collection contains nearly 200 pedigrees showing the lineal descent of hundreds of American families from the kings of England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and France. The data derives from authoritative reference works, from family histories, and from manuscript pedigrees held in both public and private repositories. The indexes contain references to upwards of 3,000 surnames, many with multiple entries. One need only trace a surname through a lineage to connect with the Blood Royal. (Earlier editions of this work are not necessarily superseded by the seventh edition, but the seventh is held to be the most authoritative, and is therefore the most popular.)

The editors organize this wide array of texts chronologically by theater and incorporate French, Italian, and Spanish transcriptions with English translations throughout.
