THE FIRST FLAG+A. T. s Y. s.
City. 1t is generally believed that the
first American fiag-the Stars and
Stripes-was made about the middle OF
1875 by Betsy Ross. wife of John Ross
of the Continental army, at 2SS Arch
street, Philadelphia, but there has been
a question raised in regard to the iden-
tity of the flag made by Mrs Ross. The
first flag she made for General Wash
ington was. IL is asserted, made in June
or July, 1776 while the design Of the
stars and Stripes was not adopted by
Congress until June IA. ,1777. 1t is be-
Heved that if Mrs. Ross made a flag
for General Washington in 1776 at his
suggestion it was the grand Union
flag adopted by the Continental army
in January that year. 1t was made
ND of thirteen alternate red and white
stripes and a union of the crosses Of
st. George and st. Andrew. While this
was an American flag, IL was not the
flag OF the United States of America.
and a demand for such a flag was not
created until after the Declaration OF
Independence. There is no record Of
any United States flag before the de-
sign adopted by Congress in June. 1T7T,
but it is possible that Mrs Ross. who
was a fiagmaker, made the first one
from a design furnished her by com
mittee of Congress. of which General
Washington was one. From the imper-
feet history in regard to the flag il is
impossible to state exactly when the
first flag Of the United States was
made.
