Banderas lejanas

The history of the United States of America is one of the most engaging topics in popular history, but we must never forget that history is almost always written by the winners. Flags from Afar dares to offer a candid look at the untold story of Spain’s participation in the early years of the exploration and colonization of North America, the War of Independence and the conquest of the Wild West. From the Florida coasts to the shores of California to the Great Lakes, the Spanish left their mark on the great nation of the United States. In Flags from Afar, you’ll discover little known facts such as:

• The first Thanksgiving Day in the United States was actually celebrated by the Spanish settlers in New Mexico
• Financial support from the Spanish Crown was vital to the revolutionary cause during the American Revolutionary War

This isn’t your average history book, so read it with caution.
