Description
Homer Greene's Flag, published in Philadelphia in 1917, is a patriotic novel that opens in a snow-covered village at a house called Bannerhall. A boy named Pen runs down the porch steps while his Aunt Millicent calls him back with news of his grandfather's train.
Family pride, a disputed tree, and a colonel's honor drive the home chapters, while later illustrations point to war service in France. Greene ties the flag to duty, sacrifice, and the older generation's example. The book speaks to American readers in the year the nation entered the First World War.
