Upon arriving at this cache, you may agree with me in thinking that this cache description is just begging for a little history on the Bald Eagle, preferably with a little educational value and some humor, as well. Fear not dear cacher, and I will provide an entertaining tidbit or two on our country's emblem and symbol of freedom since 1787. While Thomas Jefferson, author of the "E pluribus unum" portion of the emblem agreed with the choice of the eagle, Benjamin Franklin strongly dissented as can be read in his very entertaining opinion:
"I wish that the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country, he is a bird of bad moral character, he does not get his living honestly, you may have seen him perched on some dead tree, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the labor of the fishing-hawk, and when that diligent bird has at length taken a fish, and is bearing it to its nest for the support of his mate and young ones, the bald eagle pursues him and takes it from him.... Besides he is a rank coward; the little kingbird, not bigger than a sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the district. He is therefore by no means a proper emblem for the brave and honest. . . of America.. . . For a truth, the turkey is in comparison a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original native of America . . . a bird of courage, and would not hesitate to attack a grenadier of the British guards, who should presume to invade his farmyard with a red coat on."
