The Bald Eagle

by Jennifer Silate

If Founding Father Benjamin Franklin had his wishes, the national symbol of the United States would have been the turkey! Instead, the Continental Congress decided upon the bald eagle as a symbol of strength and longevity--two qualities they hoped would come to define the young republic. Readers will marvel at the many uses of the bald eagle as a national symbol in times of war, peace, and prosperity.
