 e British Army at their heels as traitors and a whole independent governme
 nt to set up\, you would think the New Jersey&rsquo\;s Patriot Assembly wo
 uld have more important concerns than drawing a logo. Yet one of the thing
 s they did at their first meeting at Princeton on July 2\, 1776 was task a
  committee to essentially do just that in the form of a &ldquo\;Great Seal
 .&rdquo\;</p>\n<p>What was so important about having a seal? Who created i
 t? Why is there a horse&rsquo\;s head and who are the women holding the sh
 ield? You have probably seen the emblem on the State Flag\, but you might 
 be surprised at the story behind it!</p>\n<p>Gordon Bond is an independent

 sp\;www.GardenStateLegacy.com\, a resources website dedicated to New Jerse
 y history. He is the author of six books focusing on aspects of New Jersey
