We found an interesting video on YouTube and want to share it with you! This creation is from Thilo W. Finger. He recorded some good video segments while driving through Seligman. Thilo is from Hannover, the Capitol of the Federal State of Lower Saxony in Germany. The video was taken during his first trip to the U.S.A. Thilo and his three friends stopped in Seligman while travelling from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon. We hope to see Thilo and his friends again!! Here is the link to his video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MctVNz-

In the surrounding ranchland of Seligman you'll discover many wild burros such as the one "posing" in the photo. Wild burros feed on a variety of plants, including grasses, Mormon tea, palo verde and plantain. Although some moisture is provided by these plant materials, wild burros must have drinking water throughout the year. They can usually be seen foraging for food during daytime, except for summers, when they will forage only at night and in the early morning. Many oldtimers say that these burros are descendants of the burros that called Oatman home many years ago.

In the next few issues, we will present some interesting history and facts about our Unites States of America flag. This is the second in our series of articles:
Early flags designed for use in the American colonies reflected the European origin of the colonists. In the British colonies many flags were adaptations of the British Union Jack. The colors red, white, and blue, which symbolized colonial unity, were first used in a flag in New England in 1737. The flag was blue with a white canton quartered by a red cross. In one upper quarter of the canton was a globe symbolizing the New World.
