WILD TURKEY
WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM

AMERICAN BISON
The bald eagle is the only eagle native to North America alone.
SAY UNCLE!
THE MYTH:
âUNCLE SAMâ WAS MADE UP FOR RECRUITMENT DURING WORLD WAR I AND WORLD WAR II.
THE FACTS:
Every American knows who Uncle Sam is: Heâs a white-haired, bearded man dressed in red, white, and blue. This symbol of the United States appeared on posters recruiting soldiers to fight in World War I (1914â1918) and World War II (1939â1945).
However, the origin of Uncle Sam goes back further than that. The song âYankee Doodleâ first appeared in print in the 1750s. âUncle Samâ appears in one of its lines: âUncle Sam came there to change/Some pancakes and some onions.â
