Quincy
Quincy is known as the "City of Presidents" and the "Granite City." It is also known for its waterfront and the Fore River Shipyard. The city produced a president of the Continental Congress and two presidents of the United States. Quincy's granite was used to build the Bunker Hill Monument, Minot Lighthouse, and other cherished buildings around the country. The city's waterfront meanders for 27 miles, and its Fore River Shipyard is famous for manufacturing World War I and II warships. Residents proudly refer to Quincy as home. Quincy explores the many facets of Quincy life as they were uniquely expressed in an early-20th-century phenomenon: the postcard.

Records
The National Sailors' Home was established by the leadership of the National Sailors' Fair, held in Boston in November, 1864. The minutes detail every step in the process of setting up and managing the institution: developing by-laws and electing officers; purchasing property and building facilities; hiring staff; rules and regulations for staff and residents; admission and dismissal of residents; finances; patients' medical care; the operation of a working farm; landscaping and cemetery maintenance; the establishment of a library, and other matters. For over thirty years, the president of the board was Alexander Hamilton Rice. The clerk keeping the records was Joshua Crane.
Our Flag
"When the standard of the Union is raised and waves over my head-the standard which Washington planted on the ramparts of the Constitution, God forbid that I should inquire whom the people have commissioned to unfurl it, and bear it up; I only ask in what manner, as an humble individual, I can best discharge my duty in defending it." -Daniel Webster, Our Flag (1872) Our Flag: Origin and Progress of the Flag of the United States of America (1872) by George Henry Preble details the origins and use of flags, standards, and banners in Europe and Asia before delving into their use and history in the U.S. This edition is an original illustrated replica including 12 color plates of the flags of ancient and modern nations, the American states, the U.S. Navy, and Southern flags of the Civil War. Preble's in-depth research of the flag is certain to educate and enlighten any reader interested in learning more about this iconic symbol.
