“Betsy Ross: The Life Behind the Legend” delves into the full life story this enduring American legend. Historian Marla R. Miller shares Ross as she truly was, piecing together the fascinating life of this little-known and much beloved figure.
Ross is mainly thought to be important to our history in her role as a skilled needlewoman who was one of Philadelphia's most important flag makers from the Revolution through the War of 1812. What is little known, however, is that she was fiercely on the side of the colonial resistance, reveled in its triumphs, and suffered its consequences.
