A post-Revolutionary version, this official 1795 flag flew from Fort McHenry, inspiring Francis Scott Keyâs âStar-Spangled Banner.â. Marines raise the flag on Iwo Jima, perhaps the icon of World War II. Americans love the story of Betsy Rossâs making the nationâs first official flag. For almost 140 years now, the tale of the plucky, practical Philadelphia seamstress has occupied a comfortable niche in the countryâs patriotic pantheon alongside the stories of Paul Revere, the Minutemen, and Valley Forge.
The Betsy Ross story was brought to public attention in 1870 by her grandson, William Canby, in a speech he made to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. Canby and other members of Betsy's family signed sworn affidavits stating that they heard the story of the making of the first flag from Betsy's own mouth. According to the oral history, in 1776, three men-George Washington, Robert Morris, and George Ross, visited Betsy Ross in her upholstery shop.
