| Summary, Etc. |
"Flags of the Fifty States is an indispensable historical reference and a fascinating, beautiful pictorial guide to the rich history and diversity of America's fifty states. It provides a colorful way to learn about how the United States grew and prospered and shaped itself and its banners over the years. The powerful stories behind the creation of our state flags reveal a great deal. The forces that came to bear on what was ultimately chosen to become a territory's emblem provide clear and vivid lessons about the politics, geography, economics, and conflicts of an era-and how they related to the growing United States. With stunning, full-color reproductions of each flag, this book offers a thorough and eminently readable account of how and why each flag was designed, what the various symbols and figures in the flags mean, and how each flag evolved. Throughout are interesting facts and sidebars that answer such questions as why Alaska is represented by the Big Dipper, what significance the diamond has in the flag of Arkansas, which state features the Union Jack on its flag, and what impact the Civil War had on designs of the state flags of the South"-- Provided by publisher.
