If you grew up in America, it's a good bet you were raised on a compendium of tall tales. You know: Paul Bunyan, Johnny Appleseed, Buffalo Bill, guys like that. But, though America sure loves their rough-and-tough mountain men-as evidenced by the staying power of those guys-if you get down in the local weeds, you'll discover a far more rich and diverse pantheon of folk heroes.

Occasionally, these stories, like the Civil War-era tale of a rebellious slave girl, became legends because they inspired a sense of hope. But, in some cases, the morality is less cut-and-dried; these characters, like the pirate who robbed merchants before single-handedly winning the War or 1812 for us, can be painted as both heroes and villains. And the lines are blurred even more, depending on where in the country you happen to be. So here, ranging from tales rooted in reality to yarns so preposterous they just have to be make-believe, allow us to present the most revered folk heroes every state has to offer. And for more on the stories each state has kept alive for generations, don't miss The Weirdest Urban Legend in Every State.

The ballads of John Henry, an African American man born in the Reconstruction era, portray him as a burly railroad worker with immense strength who valiantly competed with a steam engine to cut a railroad tunnel in the side of a mountain. According to legend, John Henry beat the engine, but died shortly afterward. But as the New York Times reports, there is some tenuous evidence that this mythic man might have actually existed. And for more on people who definitely never existed, check out the 50 Famous People Who Never Existed.

Destined to a life of eternal wandering, Kiviuq is an Inuit hero revered among Alaska, Canada, and Greenland natives for his incomparable compassion-on, and also his incredible ability to fend off all manner of sea monsters. And for more on the Last Frontier, find out why Juneau is one of the 13 Airports Pilots Hate Flying Into.

Wild Bill was resoundingly the best shot in the West, credited with gunning down 100 "badmen" during his time as a Wild West vigilante of sorts. According to Wild West magazine, even General George Armstrong Custer admitted that Wild Bill was a man "whose skill in the use of the rifle and pistol was unerring." That's pretty high praise from one of our nation's most infamous military leaders. And if you can't remember who Custer was, you might need to brush up on the 20 United States Civic Studies Lessons You Forgot.

The historical song of the Natural State, "Arkansas Traveler," is primarily an embodiment of Arkansas' good 'ole Southern hospitality. Supposedly, the song is rooted in one of Colonel Sanford Faulkner's experiences. As Faulkner was walking through the woods, he came across a cabin in the woods. An unnamed man lived inside. After some banter, the guy welcomed Faulkner into his home, handed the Colonel a fiddle, and lo, a legendary tune was born.

Often heralded as the founder of California, John A. Sutter actually owned the land in California where gold was first gleefully discovered in 1848, kicking off the nation's Gold Rush. But in a cruel twist of fate, the whirlwind of the search for gold left the formerly wealthy man bankrupt, as all of his workers abandoned his fort in pursuit of riches.

A legendarily iconic frontiersman who helped push America into embracing the Manifest Destiny, one of Kit Carson's most notable accomplishments was successfully guiding explorer John C. Frémont across the terrain of Colorado, and then later the Pacific Northwest. Carson's exploits were vaunted to a sort of celebrity status by the dime novels, movies, and TV shows loosely based on his life.

Whalley and Goffe were a pair of Puritan judges who took part in sentencing King Charles I to execution by beheading. The pair fled all the way from England to New Haven when Charles II, the executed king's son, ascended to the throne, threatening retribution for his father. At first, the two lived freely in the Connecticut colony, but when they realized Charles II had sent soldiers to search them out, Whalley and Goffe went into hiding in the mountain caves near New Haven. Legend has it that, for years afterward, the colonists would occasionally spot an old, white-bearded man (presumably one of the exiled judges) among the mountains at the colony's edge.

The evidence for the story of Tom Christ, young pirate-catcher, is dubious at best. But supposedly, Captain William Kidd, a pirate who ransacked the New England Coast, came ashore at Delaware Bay in 1699. Kidd allegedly buried a box in the sand dunes of Cape Henlopen before quickly setting sail, unwittingly allowing Tom Christ, a young local boy, to witness the entire scene. After the pirate's ship had sailed away, Christ promptly dug up the box, discovering gold and the pirate's private papers. Somehow, these papers lent enough information about Kidd's whereabouts for Christ to inform the authorities about Kidd's upcoming plans and eventually lead to Kidd's capture, landing Tom Christ a reputation as a young hero. And speaking of pirates, find out which state becomes obsessed with them every summer by learning The Weirdest Summer Tradition in Every State.

Juan Ponce de Leon was the Spanish explorer credited with first setting foot on the coast that would later be known as Florida. He was also the guy who regularly got everyone's hopes up for the possibility of immortality with frequent yet futile searches for the Fountain of Youth.

Brer Rabbit: the tiny but clever woodland creature who constantly evades his fellow creatures (Brer Fox, Brer Wolf, and Brer Bear) by outwitting them at every turn-landing them in briar patches and other prickly situations.

Appearing in Disney's popular film, Moana, Maui is more than just Hollywood concoction. It's an actual Hawaiian legend, a demigod replete with a magical fish hook and super strength who, among other feats, harnessed the sun.

Described as a "crack rifleshot," the tall tales about Carl Buck's ability to perform impressive feats with a rifle, like successfully firing between the legs of a fluttering hummingbird from 50 yards away, epitomize the West's reverence for the classic sharp-shooting man. And for more amazing stories, don't miss the 33 Common Myths We're All Obsessed with.

Perhaps one of the most infamous folk heroes, the tin pot hat-wearing, appleseed-sowing, gentle Johnny Appleseed is a legend many states would love to claim, but Illinois has one of the strongest claims, due to the fact that the real life man, John Chapman, planted several apple tree nurseries (yes, he did actually stick around to tend the seeds he planted) in the state of Illinois.

Emerging from a tale ultimately aimed at promoting the hardiness of quarry workers, the "sissy," an eight-foot giant, reportedly rode into one of the Hardscrapple County Rock Quarry's neighboring towns on the backs of two panthers, driving the big cats with a live rattlesnake as a whip. The sissy dejectedly reported to the frightened townspeople that he was ejected from the quarries for being too much of a wimp. The essence of the story? Quarry workers are the toughest of the tough.

One of the few females from her time to leave a lasting mark in the history books, the best part about Kate Shelley's story is that it's absolutely true. One night in 1881, 15-year-old Shelley heard a horrible crashing sound come from the railroad tracks and ran outside to breathlessly discover that the nearby bridge had collapsed, taking a train with it. Realizing that another train was due to cross the bridge that same night, Shelley sprinted to the nearest train station to inform the station master that the bridge had been demolished, in just enough time for him to alert the oncoming train. Needless to say, Shelley's quick thinking and brave actions made her a statewide hero.

As if hunting and killing over 4,000 buffalo to feed railroad construction crews wasn't enough, Buffalo Bill started his own traveling Wild West show (starring Annie Oakley) that really cemented his status as a frontiersman legend. His folk hero legacy was also propelled along by sales of the "Buffalo Bill" dime-novels, which were loosely based on the real-life man.

A famed outdoorsman and war hero, Boone is catalogued in history as one of the main players involved in settling the Bluegrass State, especially blazing Wilderness Road from Virginia to Kentucky.

Jean Lafitte was characterized among the nation's most heroic and most villainous during his early nineteenth century pirating days, just depending on who you asked. With a strategic rotation in the Gulf of Mexico and a secret warehouse set up in New Orleans, Lafitte pirated many a hapless trader's ship, obviously putting him on the wrong side of the law. That said, when the War of 1812 rolled around, Lafitte and his pirate fleet put all hands on deck in support of the U.S. Naval Force during the Battle of New Orleans, and some historians postulate that America would have been hard-pressed to win the war without the pirate's assistance.

Remembered through the ages by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's eponymous poem, Evangeline was a doomed heroine, a lovestruck Acadian girl who, after being separated from her lover during the Expulsion of the Acadians, set out among the strange woodlands of New England (believed to be, more specifically, Maine) in a desperate attempt to be reunited with the man she loved. And for more of our favorite love poems, check out The 20 Most Romantic Poems of All Time.

A legend arising from the African American community in the midst of the Civil War, the story of Big Liz is that of an enslaved girl in Maryland who was working covertly as a Yankee spy. Her suspecting master led her deep into the woods one night, purportedly to bury a box of treasure he didn't want the Union Army to get their hands on. Suddenly, the master turned the shovel on the girl, burying Big Liz alive-but that wasn't the end of her story. As legend has it, Big Liz's spirit was too fierce to die so easily. The girl's ghost supposedly followed her master back to his house, where she deftly snapped his neck, serving justice, and garnering her a reputation as a folk hero.

Fondly referred to as "Old Stormy" for short, this gigantic sailor was the subject of many a New England nautical tall tale. Among other exploits, he is credited with battling the mythical Kraken during a voyage that took him near the coast of South America.

One of only two women to receive the Kearny Cross Medal of Honor, the combat medic known as "Michigan Annie" was a hardened nurse who provided immediate medical care to wounded soldiers, often smack in the center of Civil War battles.

Arguably the most revered folk hero of all, legendary lumberjack Paul Bunyan (and Babe, his trusty blue ox) is fondly touted among the Midwest as a man of mythically large proportions who could roll up his sleeves and chop down entire forests and create entire lakes (like the Puget Sound), all in a day's work.

One of Mark Twain's lifelike literary creations, the fictional character Huck Finn, a ragamuffin boy who befriends a runaway slave, is beloved among Mississippi natives for his unabashed portrayal of the rural nineteenth-century American South-not to mention the young boy's clarity in viewing African Americans as actual people, a perception not shared by many in the pre-Civil War era. And while we're on the subject of the literary titan, bone up on the 30 Mark Twain One-Liners That Are Still Relevant Today.

Jesse James: outlaw or hero? Well, it depends on the way you look at him. Some claimed his murders and robberies were a sort of twisted retribution for his family's maltreatment at the hands of Union soldiers during the Civil War. Whatever the case may be, James' exploits, bloody and gruesome though they were, were bold enough to cause him to be whispered about with a tinge of awe for many years to come.

Likely recognized in the modern era from his portrayal in the Night at the Museum films, General George Armstrong Custer was one of America's most seasoned and valorous military generals. His most infamous battle, at Little Bighorn in Montana, where he and the entire cavalry regiment under his command perished, is now commemorated as "Custer's Last Stand."

The tales surrounding this guy are even more bizarre than his name. Allegedly able to control the weather, folk hero Febold Feboldson could supposedly slice fog apart and wrestle cyclones with his bare hands.

Esa, or the Wolf, is recognized by several Native American tribes as the creator god, often tasked with preventing his irresponsible brother, Coyote, from sowing mishaps and contention among the tribes.

A chieftain of the Pennacook tribe, Passaconaway was rumored to possess mysterious powers, including the abilities to make water burn, revitalize dead vegetation, and bring dead snakes back to life (though we're not sure why that would be necessary). Arguably the most bizarre rumor concerning Passaconaway is that upon his death, he ascended to the sky atop a sled borne by wild wolves.

This Revolutionary War-era woman was as fearless as any man, and then some. Legend has it that Molly Pitcher marched onto the battlefield to deliver pitchers of water to soldiers, and even helped operate a cannon during the Battle of Monmouth.

The legend of Pavla Blanca is the tragic tale of a betrothed woman who set out to find her lost lover, a handsome Spanish conquistador who vanished after his company was ambushed by the Apache tribe. Pavla Blanca died somewhere along New Mexico's Great White Sands while searching for her lover. Her ghost is said to roam the sands to this day, forever immortalizing her story of lost young love.

Supposedly, New Yorkers Abner Cartwright and Alexander Doubleday were responsible for the invention of America's favorite pastime (that's baseball, in case you weren't sure). But, according to the New York Folklore Society, the accomplishments attributed to these two men actually represent a classic posthumous misrepresentation of their lives. In reality, neither of the two men likely played any major role in getting the sport up off the ground, and their association with the game is thought to be an elaborately odd practical joke on the part of one of their mutual friends. Nevertheless, when a conversation rolls around to the origins of baseball, these two men's names still inevitably crop up. And for more on baseball, find out why it ranks among the 30 Most Dangerous Summer Activities.

Regarded as a nineteenth-century North Carolinian Robin Hood, Henry Berry Lowry allegedly was of Native American descent, and the aims of the Confederacy didn't sit too well with him. When the Confederate conscription officers came to town, Lowry took to the woods, joining and eventually becoming the leader of a band that mounted several attacks on Confederate soldiers.

Forever remembered in the history books for her vital role in the Lewis and Clark expedition, Sacagawea was, for those of you who might not remember, a bilingual Native American woman who guided the two expeditioners across the Rocky Mountains, all the way to the Pacific Ocean. The most impressive part? She led the way through Western America's uncharted terrain while carrying and caring for her newborn baby.

Coined the King of the River, Mike Fink was a superior boatsman who could keelboat with the best of them, and, as the story goes, occasionally outfoxed even the craftiest of businessmen, stealing both money and whiskey. Among Fink's lauded talents was the ability to shoot whiskey cups off his friends' heads.

Oklahoma's rendition of Paul Bunyan, Kemp Morgan was a no-nonsense oil drilling man with an uncanny gift: the ability to sniff out, with fine-tuned precision, reservoirs of oil located miles and miles underground. And for more strange American trivia, See the Top Slang Term from Every U.S. State.

A lumbering giant of a man, Jumbo Reilly was widely thought to be the most intense barkeep in Portland. Although the bar where Jumbo worked was at one time reckoned to be the longest in the world, he had a keen eye and a knack for tracking down even the most wily rascals who tried to sneak in through a side door.

The steelworker's iteration of Paul Bunyan and John Henry, Joe Magarac was allegedly a Pittsburgh native who could shape and bend steel better than any other man. In some particularly exaggerated retellings, Magarac is actually described as being made entirely of steel himself.

In a similar vein to Davy Crockett, in that she was an actual person who took on a sort of legendary form, Elleanor Eldridge is regarded as a folk hero of African American feminism. Made famous by memoirs of her life authored by Francis Whipple, Eldridge was a free, single African American woman living in nineteenth-century Providence, who found herself involved in an intense legal battle for her rightfully-owned property. Whipple's memorialization of Eldridge's life made her an icon for later uprisings against both racism and sexism in the decades to come.

In the mid-nineteenth century, lyricist and composer Stephen Foster wrote the song "Old Black Joe," reminiscing on his childhood friendship with a beloved elderly former slave. The song became immensely popular, and, according to the Cedar Swamp Historical Society Collection, Foster's heartfelt lyrics are considered "the first to elevate the dignity of the black slave."

A gritty woman of the Wild West, Calamity Jane was a South Dakota legend for her admirable shooting precision and tough-as-nails attitude.

Tennessee congressman Davy Crockett was elevated to legendary status by the folktales that abounded about his superior frontiersmanship. These were aided by the fact that he died a martyr's death while defending Texas' freedom in the infamous Battle of the Alamo.

Pecos Bill: the Southwestern cowboy who was purportedly born to a family of Texas pioneers, and, among a myriad of other tall tales, was raised by wild coyotes, traveled on the back of a mountain lion and lassoed tornadoes in his spare time.

A figure of legend to those both of and outside of the Mormon faith, Brigham Young is one of the pillar members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Young is most notably recognized for his instrumental role in the migration of the majority of the religious group (then about 16,000 people) from Illinois to Utah in the mid-nineteenth century.

Memorialized by a massive statue on the steps of Vermont's State Capitol, frontiersman Ethan Allen served as the leader of the Green Mountain Boys militia in the eighteenth century, fighting against the preposterous taxes the greedy governor of New York was imposing on Vermont landowners. Later, Allen played a vital role in the Revolutionary War, serving as commander of the armed forces of the Commonwealth of Vermont.

Although Disney's Pocahontas romanticizes many of the details of John Smith's life, the fact remains that this hardy explorer played an immensely important role in establishing America's very first colony in Jamestown, Virginia, particularly aiding in maintaining positive relationships with the nearby Native American tribes. And for more on the truth of John Smith and Pocahontas' relationship, don't miss 30 Outdated History Lessons That Will Make You Cringe in 2018.

A more modern-day "hero," the bizarre Willie Willey is almost a larger-than-life character, a mountain man who moved to Spokane in the early twentieth century and built quite a reputation for his distaste of clothing (often seen clad only in a pair of khaki shorts), and his free-spirited roaming. He was so beloved by the people of Spokane that, after he passed away, the rock seen in the picture above was christened after him.

Often associated with (and sometimes claimed to be kin to) Paul Bunyan, the tall tale hero Tony Beaver was known to frequent the woods near Eel River with two oxen of his own, named Hannibal and Goliath.

Although Wisconsinites fight tooth and nail to claim Paul Bunyan as their own, they also claim Johnny Inkslinger, Bunyan's highly efficient record-keeper (known to save time by never crossing a 't' or dotting an 'i'), who supposedly also invented the fountain pen.

A member of the famed Lewis and Clark expedition, John Colter is revered as one of the nation's first mountain men, rumored to have once outstripped an entire hunting party from the Blackfeet tribe-running across rocks and cacti in his bare feet.

State Flag

The official state flag of Arizona was officially adopted on February 17, 1917. It was designed by Colonel Charles W. Harris (adjutant general and chief administrative officer of Arizona) and was first sewn by Nan D. Hayden.

The 13 yellow and red rays represent both the Sun's rays and the original 13 colonies of the United States of America. The colors red and yellow are used because they were the colors of the flag of the Spanish conquistadors led by Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, who entered Arizona in 1540 (looking for the legendary Seven Cities of Cibola). The copper-colored star in the middle represents copper mining, since Arizona produces more copper than any other state in the USA.

Arizona was the 48th state in the USA; it was admitted in 1912 (it had been part of Mexico before the Mexican War).

First, get to know about your state, information about it as you can find. Try both the Internet and the library; try a good search engine, an encyclopedia, and individual books on the USA and the states.

As you're reading about your state, take notes on key information, such as the name of the capital, current population figures, climate, geography (mountains, lakes, rivers, deserts), industries in the state, agricultural products, state symbols, etc.

The Structure of Your Report:
Start your report with an introductory paragraph that states the main ideas that you will be writing about. Then write at least four to five paragraphs that clearly describe your state. Each paragraph should cover one topic (for example, you should have at least one paragraph that describes the state's geography, and gives information on the state's location in the USA or the province's location in Canada, its major bodies of water, its highest and lowest points, mountain ranges, etc.). End the report with a closing paragraph that summarizes what you wrote and learned.

Finally, cite your references (see the section below on formats for your bibliography).

Check that your grammar, spelling, and punctuation are correct. Make sure to use complete sentences and write neatly! Define any technical terms that you use. Proofread your report for errors before you hand it in -- do not hand in a rough draft.

Topics to Research and Include in Your Report:
When you write your report, try to answer as many of the following questions as you can:

Geography: Describe your state's or province's location within the US or Canada. (What states or major bodies of water border it?) What is the state capital? What are some major cities? How big is your state/provinces (list its area and its rank with respect to the other states/provinces)? You may want to include a map of your state/province - either draw it yourself or find one online.

Climate: What climates does the area have? Is it hot and mild (like Hawaii), is there an extreme climate (like Montana), or something else?

Population: Give the latest population figures for your state. How does it rank in terms of the other states? What do the people of the state do for a living (what are the state's major industries and agricultural products)?

State/Province Symbols: Describe the symbols that the state selected to represent it. Write about the state flag -- include what it looks like, when it was adopted - you can even draw a picture of it if you like. Some states have a state bird, a state insect, a state reptile, a state fossil, a state dinosaur, a state rock, a state soil, a state song, a state dance, and other unusual symbols.

Something Special: What is special about your state? What does it have that other states do not have? For example, list National Parks, National Monuments, historic battlefields, important places, or historic events that happened in your state.

Citing Your References: When you write your bibliography, list all of your references. Formats for each type of publication follows (there are different formats for different media):

Web Site: Author(s) if appropriate. Title of Site or web page. URL of site, date of publication (the earliest copyright year listed).

Book: Author(s). Title of book. Edition. Location of publisher: Name of Publisher, year of publication.

Encyclopedia: Title of encyclopedia, volume of encyclopedia used. Location of publisher: Name of Publisher, year of publication, pages where the article is located.

Magazine or Journal: Author(s). "Title of article." Name of magazine, Volume.issue (date): pages where the article is located.

Author(s) are listed last name first, first name or initials (as cited in the publication).

For example: "Enchanted Learning" would be cited as follows:

Col, Jeananda. Enchanted Learning: US States. http://www.EnchantedLearning.com/usa/states/ 2001.

For more on EnchantedLearning's bibliography and author, click here.

Another format for Internet sources is as follows:

Last name, First name of author. Title of Page. Name of the publisher (EnchantedLearning.com in our case). Date the page was created (at Enchanted Learning, this is the earliest date on the copyright notice located at the bottom of each page), Date of revision (at Enchanted Learning, we do not keep track of page revisions).

Some teachers also request that you include the date of access; this is the date (or dates) that you went to the web page (or pages).

The first confirmed European landing in present-day United States territory was by Christopher Columbus, who visited Puerto Rico on November 19, 1493.

Florida was home to the earliest European colonies on the mainland; they died out except for St. Augustine (founded by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés in 1565).

A hundred or so French fur traders set up small outposts in the Great Lakes region. A few thousand Spanish settled in New Mexico and California.

The first successful English settlement was at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607, followed in 1620 by the Pilgrims' landing at Plymouth, Massachusetts, then the arrival of the colony of Massachusetts Bay, started by the Puritans.

In 1609 the Dutch settled New York and in 1617, they settled in New Jersey.

In 1638, the Swedes founded New Sweden (part of which became Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania).

Throughout the 17th and early 18th centuries, England established new colonies, took over Dutch colonies, and split others.

With the division of the Carolinas in 1729, and the colonization of Georgia in 1732, the 13 British colonies that became the United States of America in 1776 were established and all had active local and colonial governments with elections open to most free men.

The nation was founded by thirteen colonies declaring their independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776 and ratifying the Articles of Confederation, on March 1, 1781 uniting the states under a weak federal government. It adopted the current constitution on September 17, 1787.

From 1803 to 1848, the size of the new nation nearly tripled as settlers (many embracing the concept of Manifest Destiny) pushed beyond national boundaries even before the Louisiana Purchase.

As new territories were being incorporated, the nation was divided over the issue of states' rights, the role of the federal government, and the expansion of slavery. The Northern states abolished slavery in 1804 and were opposed to the expansion of slavery whereas the Southern states' economy was dependent on slave labor. These issues led to the Civil War, following the secession of the Southern states to form the Confederate States of America after the 1860 election of Abraham Lincoln.

The 1865 Union victory in the Civil War ended slavery and settled the question of whether a state had the right to secede. The event was a major turning point in American history and resulted in an increase in federal power.

The United States is the world's oldest surviving federation. Its government relies on representative democracy through a congressional system under a set of powers specified by its Constitution.

The federal government comprises three branches, which are designed to check and balance one another's powers:
* Legislative: The Congress, made up of the Senate and the House of Representatives, which makes federal law, declares war, approves treaties and has powers of impeachment.

* Executive: The President, who administers and enforces federal law, can veto bills, and is Commander in Chief of the military.

* Judiciary: The Supreme Court and lower federal courts, whose judges are appointed by the President with Senate approval, which interpret laws and their validity under the Constitution and can overturn laws they deem unconstitutional.

The United States is the world's third largest country by total area after Russia and Canada.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the USA became the world's sole remaining superpower and continues to exert dominant economic, political, cultural, and military influence around the globe.

The Americas were also known as Columbia, after Columbus, prompting the name District of Columbia for the land set aside as the U.S. capital.

The phrase "united States of America" was first used officially in the Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1776). On November 15, 1777, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation, the first of which stated "The Stile of this Confederacy shall be 'The United States of America.'" The name was originally proposed by Thomas Paine.

THE GREAT SEAL: The design of the first seal of the President of the United States of America was approved on June 20, 1782. It was designed by Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson at the request of the Continental Congress.

The seal pictures an American bald eagle holding a ribbon in its beak; the ribbon has the motto of the USA, "E PLURIBUS UNUM," meaning "Out of many, one." The eagle is clutching an olive branch (with 13 olives and 13 leaves) in one foot (symbolizing peace) and 13 arrows in the other (the 13 stands for the original 13 colonies and the arrows symbolize the acceptance of the need to go to war to protect the country). A shield is in front of the eagle; the shield has 13 red and white stripes (representing the original 13 colonies) with a blue bar above it (it symbolizes the uniting of the 13 colonies and represents congress). Above the eagle are rays, a circle of clouds, and 13 white stars.

One early American flag that pictures a coiled rattlesnake. The rattlesnake was used in early American history as a symbol of resistance against British rule.

Benjamin Franklin thought that the wild turkey should be the national bird of the USA.

The Pledge of Allegiance: "I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

National Flower: "Americans have always loved the flowers with which God decorates our land. More often than any other flower, we hold the rose dear as the symbol of life and love and devotion, of beauty and eternity. For the love of man and woman, for the love of mankind and God, for the love of country, Americans who would speak the language of the heart do so with a rose... The American people have long held a special place in their hearts for roses. Let us continue to cherish them, to honor the love and devotion they represent, and to bestow them on all we love just as God has bestowed them on us.... NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the rose as the National Floral Emblem of the United States of America. (November 20, 1986)

On every Fourth of July, children who are descendants of signers of the Declaration of Independence symbolically tap the Liberty Bell 13 times while bells across the nation also ring 13 times in honor of the patriots from the original 13 states.

With over 3.8 million square miles and over 325 million people, the United States is the third largest country by both total area and population. With a gross domestic product (GDP) of over $18 trillion, the U.S. has the largest national economy in the world.

The earliest known use of the name America is attributed to the German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller who created a globe and a large map showing North and South America in 1507.

The United States contains examples of nearly every global climate. The climate is temperate in most areas, tropical in Hawaii and southern Florida, polar in Alaska, semiarid in the Great Plains, deserts in the Southwest, Mediterranean in coastal California and arid in the Great Basin. Its generous climate contributed to the country's rise as a world power.

The U.S. has over 17,000 identified native plant and tree species, including 5,000 just in California (which is home to the tallest, the most massive, and the oldest trees in the world).

The U.S. has over 400 species of mammal, 700 species of bird, 500 species of reptile and amphibian, and 90,000 species of insect.

Professional sports in the U.S. is big business and has the world's highest paid athletes. The "Big Four" sports are baseball, American football, ice hockey, and basketball. Baseball is referred to as "the national pastime"; however, since the early 1990s, football has been the most popular sport in the U.S.

In 1872, the world's first National Park was established at Yellowstone by a bill signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant. Another 59 national parks and hundreds of other federally managed parks and forests have since been designated. Wilderness areas have been established to ensure long-term protection of pristine habitats.

Rock, pop, soul, hip hop, country, blues, and jazz are among America's most internationally renowned genres of music.

The birth and develpment of cinema largely took place in the United States. Hollywood, California is the movie capital of the world.

The USA is a top producer of corn, soy beans, rice, and wheat, with the Great Plains labeled as the "breadbasket of the world" for its tremendous agricultural output

The American Dream is the idea that, through hard work, courage, and self-determination, regardless of social class, a person can gain a better life.

Religion has traditionally played a large role in American society; many of the original European colonists came to America for religious reasons. Religion still has a major influence on American politics and culture.

Rev. Billy Graham (1918-) has preached Christianity to live audiences of over 210 million people in more than 185 countries and territories. Graham also reached hundreds of millions more through television, video, film, and webcasts. He has been a spiritual adviser to multiple U.S. presidents and was number 7 on Gallup's list of admired people for the 20th century.

The U.S. was the most instrumental nation in the development of the Internet, developing its predecessor, Arpanet. U.S. businesses control most of its infrastructure.

America's Ethnic Roots -- 2010 Census: German 15.2%, Irish 10.8%, African 8.8%, English 8.7%, American 7.2%, Mexican 6.5%, Italian 5.6%, Scandinavian 3.7%, Polish 3.2%, French 3%, Native American 2.8%

On the morning of September 11, 2001, nineteen Islamic terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. The hijackers crashed two of the airliners into the World Trade Center Twin Towers, resulting in the collapse of both buildings. A third airliner was crashed into the Pentagon near Washington D.C. Passengers and members of the flight crew on the fourth aircraft (United Airlines Flight 93) attempted to retake control of their plane from the hijackers -- that plane crashed into a field in rural Pennsylvania. About 3,000 people were killed in all incidents. This attack on U.S. soil plunged America into an ongoing global war on terror.

South Dakota was the 40 state in the USA; it became a state on November 2, 1889.

State Flag

South Dakota's official flag was adopted in 1963. The flag is sky blue with state seal in the center (surrounded by yellow rays are the words, "South Dakota" and "The Mount Rushmore State"). South Dakota's state seal pictures a farmer plowing a field, a river, forests, mountains, a steamboat, and the motto, "Under God the People Rule."

South Dakota's original flag (adopted in 1909) had an image of the sun on the front and the state's seal on the back. In 1963, the state's seal and the sun's rays were both placed on the front of the flag (with nothing on the back of the flag). In 1992 the old motto, "The Sunshine State," was changed to "The Mount Rushmore State" (this is because Florida is commonly known as the Sunshine State). The original flag's design was by Senator Ernest May and Doane Robinson, secretary of the State Historical Society. Will Robinson, Doane Robinson's son, redesigned the flag in 1963.
