The definative history of the flags of the 50 states.

Whitney Smith, Director of the Flag Research Center, compiled information from the 50 states to produce the most authoritative history of state flags ever written. It is the only source of information on the design of the flags no longer in use by the various states. The history of the Stars and Stripes is also traced. The large, clear illustrations were produced specifically for this book by heraldic artist Alfred Znamerowski.
