Uncle Sam: from War of 1812 to official symbol

The article traces Uncle Sam from his origins in the War of 1812, through early cartoons showing a beardless youth, to his first use as a national symbol and eventual congressional recognition in 1961. It compares him with John Bull, notes Samuel Wilson’s meat-marking initials as a possible inspiration, and cites World Book Encyclopedia as sources.
