""Our Inheritance in the Great Seal of Manasseh, The United States of America"" is a book written by Charles A. L. Totten that explores the symbolism and hidden meanings behind the Great Seal of the United States. Totten argues that the Seal is not just a decorative emblem, but rather a carefully crafted representation of the country's history, culture, and destiny. He focuses specifically on the role of the tribe of Manasseh, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, in the founding of America and the shaping of its identity. Totten draws upon biblical prophecy, historical records, and his own interpretation of the Seal's imagery to support his thesis. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which delves into a specific aspect of the Seal's significance, such as the eagle, the arrows, and the Latin motto. Totten's writing style is scholarly and dense, making it a challenging read for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. However, for those interested in the history of American symbolism and the intersection of religion and politics, ""Our Inheritance in the Great Seal of Manasseh, The United States of America"" offers a unique perspective and a wealth of information.1897.
