Foreign Flags in America.
IN th. Pitt Si,uro DtSuaffh

The first flag to float over American soil
was the royal standard of Isabella, emilia
zoned with the arms of CASTLE and Leon.
A white flag with a green cross was its
companion. Some years after Columbus
landed at San Salvador the Cabots planted
the banner of England and of st. Marks
of Venice on the. eastern shore of North
America. In the 400 years that have inter-
vened since a variety of national flags have
waved where now only the stars and
stripes is the accepted emblem. Over Texas
have floated the French. Spanish, English,
American and confederate; in Louisiana,
the Lilies of France. the Spanish flag. the
Tricolor, the American and confederate
flags; in California, Spanish, Mexican. Rus
sian and American.
