| 520 | _a"Did Betsey Ross Design the Flag of the United States of America?" by Franklin Hanford is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the origins of the American flag and specifically investigates the legend surrounding Betsey Ross, who is often credited with its design. Hanford analyzes historical evidence and various accounts that contribute to the mythology of Ross as the flag's creator. In the book, Hanford critically examines the claims that Betsey Ross was responsible for designing and making the first American flag after a supposed visit from George Washington and others in 1776. He dissects numerous historical writings, offers biographical details about Ross, and scrutinizes the anecdotal nature of evidence supporting her involvement. The author concludes that while Ross was a talented seamstress who produced flags, there is no definitive proof that she designed or created the flag as we know it today. Instead, he asserts that the true origins of the Stars and Stripes remain unclear, emphasizing that the narrative surrounding Ross is more folklore than fact.
