Betsy Ross
By EH

If you want a good biography then check out Betsy Ross.  The authors are Peter Roop and Connie Roop, the title is Betsy Ross. The series is In Their Own Word.

Betsy Ross was born on January 1, 1752 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The most exciting part of her life was when she won the contest to see who would sew the American Flag.  She could only sew the Flag in the orders of George Washington. He only wanted 13 red and white strips and white stars with a blue background.  Her later years were rough.  Her child and her husband died in the same year.  The really sad thing is she died as a widow.  Remember, she was the first woman to sew the first American Flag. She helped make our Country what it is today!

Here are tree awesome reasons why you should read Betsy Ross. You would learn about Betsy Ross’s life and death and how she got inspired to sew the American Flag.  Also, this book will tell you about her three husbands, how she learned to sew, and many cooler things about her life.  Finally this book tells how she made out Country what it is today and how well and quickly she learned to sew.

I recommend this book to ages 9 and up.  Remember if you want a good book than check out Betsy Ross.  The series is In Their Own Word, authors Peter Roop and Connie Roop.
