We Hold These Truths A Chronicle of America
Congress resolves that the flag of the thirteen United States shall have thirteen stripes and a blue field with stars. Francis Hopkinson claims design credit in the 1770s, though Congress does not acknowledge the claim. A legend says Elizabeth Griscom Ross made the flag by request of George Ross. The Battle of Bennington in Vermont in August 1777 marks an early use of an official flag by American forces.
