The most famous photograph in American railroad history shows two locomotives touching, engineers shaking hands, and a crowd of workers cheering the completion of the transcontinental railroad. Look closely and something's missing. The Central Pacific hired around 15,000 laborers to build its half of the line, and more than 12,000 of them were Chinese immigrants. They blasted tunnels through the granite of the Sierra Nevada by hand, worked six days a week, were paid less than white workers, and had to provide their own housing. Days before the ceremony, a Chinese and Irish crew laid ten miles of track in about twelve hours — a record that still stands. Not one Chinese worker appears in the picture. Historians argue about why, but the effect was the same either way: they built it and got left out of it. Starting in 2014, the photographer Corky Lee restaged that photo at Promontory with the descendants of those workers standing where their great-grandfathers would have been.

Every American flag gets called "Old Glory." That name came from one specific flag, owned by one specific man. In 1824, a young Salem, Massachusetts sea captain named William Driver was given a 24-star flag as a gift, sewn by his mother & some family friends. When it unfurled from his masthead, he called out "Old Glory," and the name stuck. It went around the world with him twice. He retired to Nashville in 1837 and flew it from a locust tree in his yard, adding stars as states joined. Then Tennessee seceded — and two of his own sons enlisted in the Confederate army. Neighbors came looking for the flag, repeatedly, sometimes armed. His daughter sewed it inside a quilt, and the raiders never found it. On February 25, 1862, Union troops took Nashville. Driver walked to the Union commander carrying a calico quilt over his arm, cut it open in front of him, pulled out Old Glory, and asked that it be raised over the state capitol.

In 1997, Fox, Pepsi, and homebuilder Kaufman & Broad teamed up for the ultimate promotional giveaway: a fully realized, 2,200-square-foot replica of The Simpsons' home at 742 Evergreen Terrace, constructed in Henderson, Nevada. Barbara Howard of Richmond, Kentucky, won but chose the $75,000 cash instead of the house.

The Sullivans were five Irish-American brothers from Waterloo, Iowa: George, Francis, Joseph, Madison and Albert, ages 20 to 27. They worked together at the local meatpacking plant & played ball in the vacant lot next to their house. Their motto was "We stick together." After Pearl Harbor, they learned their friend Bill Ball had been killed aboard the USS Arizona. On January 3, 1942, all five enlisted in the Navy together, on one condition: they would serve on the same ship. The Navy normally discouraged that. They got their way, and all five went to the light cruiser USS Juneau. On November 13, 1942, during the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, the Juneau was torpedoed and exploded. She sank within moments. Of nearly 700 men aboard, only about ten survived. None of the Sullivan brothers came home. Back in Iowa, their mother Alleta heard rumors around town and wrote to the Navy asking if they were true. I can't imagine writing that letter. It's still the greatest combat loss by a single American family, and it's why the military has a sole survivor policy today. I've always felt their motto says everything about that generation. They stuck together, all the way down.
