Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Every flag tells a story. Whether it's a scrap of cloth tied to a stick or an elaborate banner, people have used flags to announce themselves, identify their lands, and display their beliefs. Award-winning author and illustrator Cheryl Harness brings to life a picture book history of flags focusing on the United States' revolutionary beginnings, from liberty poles to the legendary "Star-Spangled Banner" that flew over Fort McHenry in 1814. Includes a glossary of flag terminology and an American flag timeline.
Explains how flags have been used throughout history to represent cultures, including the colonial era, the Revolutionary War, and the War of 1812.
