The story of Betsy Ross and the creation of America's first flag begins with a knock on the door of Ross's Philadelphia shop. On the other side of the door was one of the most heroic figures in Revolutionary America-George Washington-and he invited Ross to play a part in history by designing a new flag for a new nation. But is this story fact or fiction? Many contradictions exist in the legend of Betsy Ross. What cannot be disputed is the fact that she lived during one of the most exciting periods of America's history. Whether or not she made a new flag, she witnessed the making of a completely new nation. The events that we read about in history books went on all around her-on the streets outside her house, and inside her home and her business. Book jacket.
