Betsy Ross was a fine seamstress who lived during a remarkable time in our history. I have no problem crediting her with creating our flag.
The Kiddo read this on his own last summer, and I read it recently before he passes it along.
This was better than I expected it to be. I learned a lot about Betsy Ross' life beyond just the legend of her sewing the first US flag, and I also learned quite a bit about Revolutionary War era Philadelphia.
The book put a good emphasis on Betsy Ross as an independent business owner and entrepreneur, and it did not shy away from the tragic elements in her life.
The actual story of the flag is treated carefully, with the book acknowledging the lack of historical documentation behind the story, but it manages to still make the case for Betsy Ross as an important figure in this chapter of American history.

A great book for young kids to learn about Betsy Ross and the early years of the United States of America. My 5 year old was surprisingly interested in it all. She asked lots of questions and learned a lot of information.
