on october 12, 1892, the bellamy salute was demonstrated as the hand gesture to accompany the pledge of allegiance in the united states. the inventor of the saluting gesture was james b. upham, junior partner and editor of "the youth's companion". bellamy recalled upham, upon reading the pledge, came into the posture of the salute, snapped his heels together, and said "now up there is the flag; i come to salute; as i say 'i pledge allegiance to my flag,' i stretch out my right hand and keep it raised while i say the stirring words that follow." there exists evidence suggesting that the gesture had been used previous to upham in the secret rituals of the knights of labor.
