Description ▲
This book is the first to show us our national flag - in all its various & surprising incarnations through 200 years - as folk art, as a profoundly moving expression of the feelings of generations of Americans about the events & spirit of their country growth. The beautiful color photos, the superb narrative & captions, trace the development of the flag's design. There are many treasures brilliantly reproduced in full color.
