Sets aside the Betsy Ross myth and focuses on the sources and meanings of the symbols that make up the American flag.
With gorgeous four-color reproductions of an amazing array of art from diverse cultures and eras, this work explores the symbolism of the national flag and investigates why the founding fathers chose the images to represent the new nation.
"The best book on the American flag's origins... No one knows the ins and outs of the origins of the flag of the United States as well and as thoroughly as Henry Moeller does. This book is, by far, the most complete and accurate resource on how the Stars and Stripes came to be. Highly recommended."
