Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Country and Its Resources The "Wave of Prosperity" which has raised our country to an unparalleled position need not ever recede if we take measure of our resources and their development at the present time and act wisely upon the information obtained. It is the object of this modest volume to present such facts as can be obtained from official sources, in a readable and withal likable form, so that we may have a I more wholesome respect for what Uncle Sam is doing for us. The "Stars and Stripes" are protected by Acts of Congress and State laws; the American Eagle cannot be kept in captivity (except in a zoological garden), but the power of the law has never been invoked to protect that symbol of our Federal Government - "Uncle Sam." This kindly old gentleman with his fuzzy beaver hat, his striped trousers and his parti-colored coat of the period of 1830, is used dozens of times daily in cartoons, but always in a respectful sense as we use it here - as a symbol of national esteem. There is no more fascinating story in the world than how we are governed by means of often invisible threads that seem to begin nowhere, but always end somewhere to our profit and often pleasure. Who shall tell this wonderful story of achievement? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
