Who Was Betsy Ross? Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Born the eighth of seventeen children in Philadelphia, Betsy Ross lived in a time when the American colonies were yearning for independence from British rule. Ross worked as a seamstress and was eager to contribute to the cause, making tents and repairing uniforms when the colonies declared war. By 1779 she was filling cartridges for the Continental Army. Did she sew the first flag? That’s up for debate, but Who Was Betsy Ross? tells the story of a fierce patriot who certainly helped create the flag of a new nation.

As reviewed by the 10 year old LACHNES MONSTER: "I learned so much about Betsey Ross, making the first American Flag, what was happening in that time period. I learned that Betsey Ross had quite a few children, that she met George Washington, and that she was a widow many times". The 10 year old LACHNES MONSTER bought this book with his birthday money, and could not wait for it to arrive, when it finally arrived, it did not disappoint! Excellent read, perfect for the 10 year old age range, and perfect for young history buffs. Great illustrations and time lines, for interactive learning.
Great little book. We buy lots of Who Was books and use them for homeschool enrichment. Short chapters, larger font, and lots of pictures make these books an easy read. This was a great addition to our collection.
We liked this book, but didn't realize their wasn't concrete proof of her creating the first flag. It was still very educational.
Love this whole series! I use them in my classroom and it's great for teaching kids how to read nonfiction.
For the school library - the children love the series
