The Bald Eagle's View of American History

The bald eagle has lived in North America for thousands of years and has been a witness to many events in our country's history. As the United States' national emblem, this majestic bird is often depicted on postage stamps commemorating landmark events of the past. Author C.H. Colman interlaces the bald eagle's struggle against extinction with the history of our nation through the centuries. The art of U.S. stamps and graceful watercolor scenes enhance this dynamic story. Timeline included.
