Excerpt from Flag Day: Its History, Origin, and Celebration as Related in Song and Story There is little to be said by way of introduction to a collection of literature on Flag Day. For the festival is one of our youngest national anniversaries, and its annals are as yet meager. The origin, history, significance, and praise of Old Glory are fully set forth in the body of this volume. And it only remains here to say a word about the holiday itself. The first official recognition of Flag Day was made by the Governor of New York, who gave orders that, on June 14, 1897, the national flag should fly over all the public buildings of the State. The fourteenth of June was chosen because, on this day, one hundred and seventeen years before, the flag of our Union was formally adopted by Congress in the resolution: "Resolved, That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the Union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation." In 1897 the Philadelphians also observed the new holiday, and during the years that followed, the custom rapidly spread. To-day there are few public buildings that on June 14 do not display the Stars and Stripes, and few open schools that do not hold appropriate exercises. The trouble is, that so few schools are still open as late as the middle of June. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
