It’s a story that is inspirational, motivational, and aspirational.

In Betsy Ross and the First Flag of the United States of America: The People, Events, and Ideas Behind the Design and Creation of the Flag and Seal of the United States, you will discover . . . - who Besty Ross really was and what motivated her to create the ultimate symbol of freedom, - how General George Washington ordered the creation of a flag of the Union, - this history and story of the glorious Gadsden — “Don’t Tread on Me!” — flag, - the various flags used during the United States’ amazing early history, - how John Paul Jones established the freedom of the seas, - all four beautiful verses of “The Star Spangled Banner,” - the incredible tale of Francis Scott Key writing what became the national anthem, - stunning patriotic songs that stirred a burgeoning nation to victory and independence, - how the stars on Old Glory were folded and made, - the importance of Brother Jonathan, - why the American Eagle was selected as the nation’s symbol, - the writers of “America” and other songs of victory and national pride, - the truth about George Washington and other heroes of the American Revolution. From the last stitch as it was sewn to it waving proudly over these fruited plains to this day, the story of the American flag and Betsy Ross is the story for — and of — all of us. It’s a story of defiance before oppression, of truth over wickedness, and of valiance overcoming cowardice. Gather the family ‘round and explore the wonderful history of our Union, its heroes, and the creator of our eternal red, white, and blue. Introduction A country is composed of people situated on a piece of land who share some basic traits—language, mores, and customs. Later, those people forge a nation and it adopts symbols that serve as identifiers of their beliefs, laws, and aspirations. No symbol of any sovereign nation is more telling, nor more high, than its flag. It is carried into battle and waved during peacetime. It bedecks halls of justice and watches over public lands. A man will doff his hat for it and all will raise their head for it. Of all secular symbols, a nation’s flag is the most sacred—and no flag has been as esteemed as the flag of the United States of America. It symbolizes freedom, bravery, justice, and hope to people around the world, citizen of this great land or not. A nation’s flag not only tells a story, it has a story. The story of one Betsy Ross and the creation of the American flag is an exceptional one. In this first book of the About U.S. series, you will thrill at the description of her creative design and then read agog as the Founding Fathers, guided by the Stars and Stripes, forge a nation that would secure freedom and happiness for all—and would continue to do so to this very day. Long may it wave o’er these hallowed lands! And may God continue the bless us with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Anthony R. Michalski Editor

“An epic story of show-biz dreams.” —Mike Foley “It’s this generation’s American Graffiti — it’s Happy Days slammed into Resurrection Boulevard.” —Rick Marcelli “Johnson’s memory for the adventures we shared breaking into show business is seamless.” —Edward James Olmos Kids, This Is Rock ‘N’ Roll: A Rockin’ and Rollin’ Memoir Made on the 1960s Sunset Strip in Hollywood Here is a story that is glamorous, inspiring, and gritty — a marvelous fusion of the ups, downs, and in-betweens of life and music and passion in 1960s Hollywood, California, the place where dreams are made and chased and, sometimes, die. When Steven “Rusty” Johnson, Eddie Olmos, and Joey Zagarino met in high school in 1962, the sky was the limit and rock ‘n’ roll stardom was a record deal away. These three friends forged a life-long friendship that would take them through triumph and tragedy, victory and defeat, success and failure — all in the pursuit of reaching the rock ‘n’ roll dream. This is not only the story of three dreamers, it is a true tale that shows that success — and life — is about taking it from the top, catching a good groove, and taking it one beat at a time.

Success is one of those words that has different meanings. More often than not, however we define it, it is misunderstood. If you see a finely dressed person driving an expensive automobile, without knowing anything else about that person, you can’t help but automatically think, “Boy! That’s a successful person!” It could very well be that he is facing bankruptcy. Or her health is failing. Or his personal life is in shambles. Likewise, were you to see a somewhat disheveled person driving a late model automobile, you don’t give them a second thought. At the least, you don’t even notice them; at the worst, you might think them unsuccessful or average. You don’t think that they just might not care about their appearance because they have enough wealth to do whatever they want. Or, even if they aren’t wealthy, they might just very well be happy. Or healthy. Yes, success is difficult to define. It’s on the surface, yet it isn’t. It’s social, yet it’s most certainly personal. It’s something you can touch, yet it’s a frame of mind. One thing is for certain, though: We all want to be successful. Do we want money and the trappings of wealth? Of course. Do we want to be healthy and well? Absolutely. Do we want a loving family? Without a doubt. Do we want to be happy? Affirmative. What you you will find — as some others have found — is that success is a delicate combination of all those things. You need money (or at least a certain amount). You need to have good health. You need family and the love and support that comes with it. And you need happiness — that overall feeling of being content and satisfied. What you will read in this book will set you on a path to attaining all of those. The authors range from business geniuses to doctors to experts. Each has a story to tell and helpful methods to share. Each will address a piece of the puzzle of success—wealth, health, relationships, happiness. From them, you will learn how to go about getting them for yourself. And you must do that — get them for yourself — as no one can do it for you. Sure, people can point in the right direction. They can, at times, even help. But the heavy lifting? Well, that’s on you. Fortunately, you will find, as you read this book, that no heavy lifting is required. Rather, you will discover that the aspects of success are made in your mind: how you think, how you feel, and how you perceive life and everything in it. Success Is Beautiful features a diverse array of notable authors, including Charles F. Haanel, J.F. (Jim) Straw, David R. Portney, Tom Nicoli, Claire McGee, Steven Jae Johnson, Bryan James, Stephen Hewett, Thomas G. Papps, Dr. Maiysha Clairborne, Rudyard Kipling, Anthony Raymond Michalski. By the time you finish this book, you will come to a conclusion. It is a conclusion that has been made by those who have attained success. That conclusion is that success — however you imagine it and whatever it means to you — is Beautiful. Having wealth is Beautiful. Having health is Beautiful. Having good relationships is Beautiful. Having it all is Beautiful. Beauty is a state of mind. It’s in the “eye of the beholder.” And so is success. Read on! Attain your success! Live your life! Or, as we like to say: Read. Succeed. Beautiful.
