Synopsis

We’re back again this week with another famous Pennsylvanian.  I guarantee you know this one but you might not know her entire story.  Last week was flag day so it only seems fitting that we talk about a Pennsylvanian woman associated with the U.S. flag: Betsy Ross.  Most of us can recognize the flag of the colonies: 13 stripes of alternating red and white and 13 white stars on a field of blue. But how much do you really know about Betsy Ross?   Sources: David Hackett Fischer, Washington’s Crossing, Oxford University Press, USA; First Edition edition (February 1, 2006), pp. 199-200. ushistory.com  http://historicphiladelphia.org/betsy-ross-house/woman/ history.com
