The Emperor of the United States and the First Christmas Tree

The Emperor of the United States and the First Christmas TreeClick Image To Visit Site An illustrated short story based on the life and times of Joshua Norton who in 1859 declared himself Emperor of the United States… and got away with it for 21 years! It’s a great story for Christmas or anytime of the year.


It’s a story for the entire family told by Emperor Norton’s most loyal followers, two rat-catching dogs named Bummer and Lazarus.



Norton became a vagrant wandering the streets. But nothing could keep his spirits down for long, especially in a place like San Francisco. He soon became one of the most beloved eccentrics in the city’s history.


Because of Emperor Norton there’s been a Christmas tree in San Francisco’s Union Square every year since.
