Summary
The primary purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive source about the role of the bald eagle as an American symbol. This book presents numerous A to Z entries about the bald eagle and its place in American culture. The bald eagle is one of the nation's earliest and most persistent symbols and has been so even before it was chosen to be placed on the Great Seal of the United States. It remains ubiquitous in American statuary, advertising, art, and rhetoric and is a popular symbol not only for the nation but for a variety of sports teams. It is engraved on the emblems of numerous governmental branches and agencies and is a prominent architectural motif, especially on government buildings.--Publisher.
