DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Did Betsy Ross Design the Flag of the United States of America? Betsey or Elizabeth Griscom was the fifth daughter of Samuel and Rebecca (james) Griscom and was born January 1 1752. She was married when quite young to John Ross, son of the Rever end Aeneas Ross, an Episcopal clergyman of New castle, Delaware, whose brother, the Hon. George Ross, became one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. George Ross was interested in the furnishing of cannon-balls, with perhaps other military stores for the Colonial defence, and it was while on guard at night over these, with other young men, that the nephew, John Ross, Betsey's first husband, received an injury from the effectsof which he died in January, 1776.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFlag: An American Biography is a vivid narrative that uncovers little-known facts and sheds new light on the more than 200-year history of the American flag. The thirteen-stripe, fifty-star flag is as familiar an American icon as any that has existed in the nation's history. Yet the history of the flag, especially its origins, is cloaked in myth and misinformation. Flag: An American Biography rectifies that situation by presenting a lively, comprehensive, illuminating look at the history of the American flag from its beginnings to today. Journalist and historian Marc Leepson uncovers scores of little-known, fascinating facts as he traces the evolution of the American flag from the colonial period to the twenty-first century. Flag sifts through the historical evidence to--among many other things--uncover the truth behind the Betsy Ross myth and to discover the true designer of the Stars and Stripes. It details the many colorful and influential Americans who shaped the history of the flag. "Flag," as the novelist Nelson DeMille says in his preface, "is not a book with an agenda or a subjective point of view. It is an objective history of the American flag, well researched, well presented, easy to read and understand, and very informative and entertaining." "Our love for the flag may be incomprehensible to others, but at least we now have a comprehensive guide to its unfolding."--The Wall Street Journal

They raise their fists and bearded faces to the remorseless sky and wildly call down curses on those who have betrayed them. The grave has received them alive, and the hideous certainty of their fate unbinds instead of chains the devil within them. The sand is torn by their racing feet; blood flows from flesh self-bitten in rage. The air, trembling in the heat, is rent by strange oaths and impotent imprecations. Some wade into the glistening sea gnashing their teeth and Shouting at the fading brig. In the knowledge of their condi tion, their desperate circumstance, of the fate to which they have so many times condemned the in nocent, brute-like they fight among themselves; knives flash, and burly forms clinch and struggle, then cease, look at each other blankly, and sit on the hot sand groaning.
