H DECLARED Nr I A FAKE
8 tSY Ross Story Said t ot e
Without Foundation 3 K
The Philadelphia Historical Soci 1
I ty has shattered the story of Betsy
Ross as the first flag maker V
societya
says
saysThe story is a fake and there is
positively no evidence bits favor
There never was the slightest
excuse for the Betsy Ross fake
The stories which you find in the
school books about this imaginary
heroine are all pure rot and it is to
the everlasting disgrace of America
that the fiction has been nourished
for so many years I have given the
traditions most careful study and
find that the story is a lie from be
ginning to end The only founda
tion whatever for the yarn is that
there was a young woman9named
Betsy Ross who look in plaitisewing
for a livelihood and who live p in a
house now knownta the fiJ tAmer
lean flag house at 239 Arch street
As a matter of fact Betsy Ross
was no more or less than an ordinary
seamstress who would > have been
fired with about the same amount of
patriotic zeal in sewing old glory as
she would socks She never had any
interview with George Washington
and the picture painted showing
Washington and the handsome young
heroine is onegross libel on the
ti itha
