Book Description
In this letter to his daughter, Sarah Franklin Bache, Benjamin Franklin criticized the new American hereditary military order of the Society of Cincinnati. He was especially critical of the Society's symbol, a bald eagle. He called it "a Bird of bad moral Character" and stated that it looked "more like a Turk'y. For in Truth, the Turk'y is in comparison a much more respectable Bird."
