This novel by Emma Look Scotts is a historical recollection of events of early American history spanning the 17th to early 20th century.

These events are seen from the lens of the American flag and the heroes that fought under it. It also incorporates some well-known pieces of American poetry. If you have ever wondered why the American Flag is known as "Old Glory", then it is a fascinating read.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Dramatic Story, of Old Glory If "good wine needs no bush" and a "good play needs no epilogue," similarly a good book needs no fore-word. This restraining reflection naturally suggests itself to one who is asked to write a foreword for another man's book. Mr. Abbott has done a real Service in bringing together all available knowledge with reference to the American Flag. The events of the last four years have demonstrated the vital necessity of reviving the spirit of Americanism. Thoughtful Americans sadly realize that our nation in the last fifty years has, in the matter of im-migration, swallowed far more than it has been able to assimilate. It is suffering from racial indigestion. This led Colonel Roosevelt, in his forceful and original way, to suggest that America had become a "polyglot boarding-house," and in the earlier stages of the world conflict, it did seem to many that America was a congeries of peoples and, as such, apparently lacking in the spirit of national consciousness and patriotic unity, which generally characterizes more homogeneous nations. The event proved that these misgivings were exaggerated and that America, when summoned to a great duty, did not lack unity of spirit.
