The Flag Raising is a historical fiction book written by Kate Douglas Wiggin. The story is set in the late 1800s and follows the lives of two sisters, Mary and Jean, who live in a small town in Maine. The sisters are very different from each other, with Mary being serious and responsible and Jean being carefree and impulsive.The book begins with the news that a new flagpole is going to be erected in the town square, and the town is going to have a flag-raising ceremony. Mary is chosen to lead the choir for the ceremony, while Jean is more interested in the handsome young man who is going to raise the flag.As the day of the ceremony approaches, tensions rise in the town, as some people are against the idea of a new flagpole and others are excited about it. Mary and Jean find themselves on opposite sides of the debate, with Mary supporting the flagpole and Jean questioning its necessity.The book explores themes of patriotism, community, and family, as well as the differences between sisters and how they can come together despite their disagreements. It also provides a glimpse into life in a small town in the late 1800s, with its traditions, values, and conflicts.Overall, The Flag Raising is a heartwarming and engaging story that will appeal to readers of all ages, especially those interested in historical fiction and family dynamics.He saw that he had not deceived her after all, owing to the angry chatter of Mrs. Meserve. He had been handcuffed twice in his life, but no sheriff had ever discomfited him so thoroughly as this child. Fury mounted to his brain, and as soon as she was safely out from between the wheels he stood up in the wagon and flung the flag out in the road in the midst of the excited group.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
