520 _a"How the Flag Became Old Glory" by Emma Look Scott is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the rich history and significance of the American flag, particularly focusing on the origin of the nickname "Old Glory" and the experiences of Captain William Driver, who played a key role in popularizing this endearing term. Through a blend of storytelling and historical facts, the narrative highlights moments of valor, the symbolism of the flag throughout various conflicts, and the development of American identity. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to Captain William Driver, a young sailor from Salem, Massachusetts, who earns a newfound respect for his nation's flag during his maritime adventures. The narrative recounts his initial travels at sea, marking significant events including his first promotion to shipmaster. Driver's deep admiration for the Stars and Stripes leads him to affectionately name the flag "Old Glory." The opening portion of the book sets the stage for Driver's enduring relationship with the flag, showcasing its importance not only to him personally but also to the larger context of American history, including its role in the Civil War and his devotion to the Union cause.
