The United Symbolism of America

Author Robert R. Hieronimus, Ph.D. takes you several steps beyond Disney’s "National Treasure" series. Americans are more curious than ever about our national symbols, and this book reveals all their mysterious origins and curiosities. It also exposes the lies about our Founding Fathers that are being proclaimed on other popular websites and in fundamentalist-conspiratorialist literature. Exploring why our most popular symbols and icons resonate successfully with the American psyche, Hieronimus first reveals the artistic influences behind each official design. It is only from that firm historical base that he speculates on their encoded symbolic messages. •The Eye, the Triangle, and Whose Eye Is It, Anyway? •The American Flag: An American Beauty, a New Constellation •The Statue of Liberty: In America, It’s Goddesses We Trust •The Liberty Bell: From Every Mountainside, Let Freedom Ring! •The Eagle: The Price of Peace is Eternal Vigilance •Washington, D.C.: History, Mystery and Symbolism in Plain Sight •Our Founding Fathers Were Not Satanists
