Origin of Old Glory Told by Lord Gower
Reminiscences recount the origin of the US flag. A 1622 brass in Brington Northamptonshire shows Robert Washington’s arms with three stars and bars. In 1776 thirteen colonies raised a banner at Washington’s HQ, merging stripes with a blue corner once bearing St George and St Andrew crosses. In 1777 the crosses were replaced by stars, as independence trumped English elements. Washington likely used the arms as a private signal, but it quickly became a national emblem.
