About this ebook
This is a fascinating and informative book that chronicles the evolution of the United States flag. From its humble beginnings to the present day, Canby's meticulous research and attention to detail provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of this iconic symbol of American pride and patriotism. The book challenges the legendary claim that Betsy Ross designed and made the first flag, but it does not detract from the importance and significance of the American flag. Instead, it offers readers an opportunity to appreciate the history and evolution of this emblematic flag.
