Beyond the legend of the creation of the American flag; we know very little about the facts of Betsy Ross' life. Perhaps with one snip of her scissors she convinced the nation's future first president that five-pointed stars suited better than six. Perhaps not. Miller recovers for the first time the full story of Betsy Ross; sharing the woman as she truly was. Miller pieces together the fascinating life of this little-known and much beloved figure; showing that she is important to our history not just because she made a flag; but because she embraced the resistance movement with vigor; reveled in its triumphs; and suffered its consequences.
