TWA from Saturday, September 9, 2017 “Moon-Breath” by Mary Jo Salter from The Surveyors. © Knopf, 2017. ORIGINAL TEXT and AUDIO - 2017 On this date in 1776, the Continental Congress settled on a name for its new nation: the United States of America. Because the term was first used in both rough and final drafts of the Declaration of Independence two months earlier, Thomas Jefferson was given the credit for coming up with the name. By September, the Declaration of Independence had made its way across the Atlantic Ocean to Great Britain.
