Drawing on new sources and bringing a fresh, keen eye to the fabled creator of 'the first flag, ' Marla R. Miller reconstructs the life behind the legend. This authoritative, thoughtful work provides a close look at the famous seamstress, and delivers an epic depiction of the tensions that animated life in Revolutionary Philadelphia. Also, Miller casts new light on the lives of the hardworking artisan families who peopled the young nation and crafted its furniture, clothing, ships, and homes.
