The Birth of a Nation
From the day the pilgrims first set foot on Plymouth Rock -- to the opening of the American West by Lewis and Clark -- to the thousand who ventured West traveling the Oregon, Mormon, Sante Fe and California Trails to reach their "promised land" -- America has become a melting pot of peoples of many different and unique cultures.

                                                       What Constitutes an American?

"Not color nor race nor religion.  Not the pedigree of his family nor the place of his birth.  Not the coincidence of his citizenship.  Not his social status nor his bank account.  Not his trade nor his profession.  An American is one who loves justice and believes in the dignity of man.  An American is one who will fight for his freedom and that of his neighbor.  An American is one who will sacrifice property, ease and security in order that he and his children may retain the right of free men."
                                                           ~~ Harold Ickes, Secretary of the Interior, May 1941
