Polish Falcons of America
The Polish Falcons of America is a nonprofit fraternal benefit society, with a strong emphasis on physical fitness.〔Alan Axelrod ''International Encyclopedia of Secret Societies and Fraternal Orders'' New York; Facts on File, inc 1997 p.198〕
== History ==
The "falcon" movement originated after the suppression of the Polish uprising of 1863. Its goal was to regenerate the Polish nation through physical fitness. The first "nest" in the United States was founded in 1887 in Chicago by Felix Pietrowicz. By 1894 there were twelve nests in the country. On May 1 of that year the Alliance of Polish Turners in the United States of America was charted in Chicago as a national organization of the falcon movement in the United State. In 1914 the name was changed to Polish Falcons Alliance of America. The organization adopted its present name on March 30, 1928.〔Schmidt, Alvin J. ''Fraternal Organizations'' Westport, CT; Greenwood Press pp.266-7〕
