Customer Reviews

Favourite person in history.

I bought this book for my Betsy Ross 1777 Project. It was helpful in writing my script for a Betsy Ross re-enactment I do locally along with details of local history when Betsy ran her business. She married three times and was widowed three times but always managed to keep running her business. She was a true patriot that contributed to the Revolutionary War in her own way: by sewing. Recommend this if you're a history teacher to focus on an unforgettable woman.
