OverviewWas there really an Uncle Sam? Yes! He was Samuel Wilson, who sent barrels of meat marked U.S. to American soldiers during the War of 1812.The soldiers called it Uncle Sam's meat, and an icon was born. Cartoonist Thomas Nast drew the familiar portrait of the man in a top hat and striped pants. Uncle Sam's image has appeared in political ads and on postage stamps. Costumed interpreters take on his persona at historic sites, including Mount Vernon. This high-interest text will engage readers and leave them wanting to find out more about one of America's most famous symbols.
