About This Item
New York: Whittlesley House, ( 1961 ). First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Octavo, 31 pages, tawny cloth
A brief history of the Pledge of Allegiance, written by Calvert, who was the commander of the nuclear submarine division of the U. S. Navy, having captained the USS Skate, a nuclear sub which sailed twice to the North Pole. President Dwight Eisenhower signed the law in 1954 which added the words, "under God", to the Pledge. Daugherty's final picture depicts Eisenhower and his new successor as President, John F. Kennedy. Daugherty's work integrates a heroic style, typical of his work on murals, with the bright colors of syncrhomism.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975.

Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
