Read this excerpt from "Myths About the Founding Fathers." The myth may have to do with a letter he wrote to his daughter about the choice of the eagle "as the representative of our country." He criticized the eagle as “a rank coward . . . by no means a proper emblem.” He joked that the turkey was a better choice because it would attack British troops should they “invade his Farm Yard.” However, he never actually formally proposed to place the turkey on our Great Seal.
