Samuel Wilson Quotes

A collection of quotes by Samuel Wilson.

Samuel Wilson, commonly known as "Uncle Sam," was born on September 13, 1766, in Arlington, Massachusetts, USA. He worked as a meatpacker during the War of 1812, supplying barrels of beef to the United States Army. Legend has it that his name and the initials "U.S." marked on the barrels led soldiers to humorously associate the abbreviation with "Uncle Sam." This association eventually became an enduring symbol for the United States. While not widely known, Wilson's contribution to American folklore and popular culture remains significant.
