Summary
Betsy Ross is one of America's most endearing and beloved characters. Widowed and alone, early in the Revolutionary War, Betsy was approached by three great men. They knew she was a Patriot and a good seamstress. Would she sew America's first flag for them? Fighting heartbreak, loneliness, and poverty, she accepted the challenge willingly. She couldn't fight for independence, but she could certainly sew for it!
