The Wide Awake Gift: A Know Nothing Token For 1855 is a book written by J.R. Drake and published in 1854. The book is a collection of stories, poems, and illustrations that was created to promote the American political movement known as the Know Nothing Party. The Know Nothings were a secretive organization that was formed in the mid-1800s and were known for their anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic views. The book includes contributions from various writers and artists, including Nathaniel Hawthorne, who wrote a short story titled The Great Carbuncle. The illustrations in the book are also notable, featuring images of American symbols such as the bald eagle and the American flag. The title Wide Awake refers to the Know Nothing Party's motto, which was Wake up, America! Overall, The Wide Awake Gift provides a glimpse into a unique period in American history and the political and cultural movements of the time.Also Authored By Mrs. L. H. Sigourney, W. C.
