What I'm Reading This Season

I wanted to share with you a book I'm reading now - "Flag: An American Biography."

As the enclosed picture shows, the book's jacket says it all. "Flag" covers the history of this renowned U.S. symbol from its early beginning. Americans love our flag. It is unique with its 13-bar Stars and Stripes and 50 stars design. And it elicits emotions of respect and pride whether you see it being unfurled at a baseball game, at special events, or flying at half mast to memorialize a fallen leader. 

The book was written by Marc Leepson and is published by St. Martin's Press. Mr. Leepson delves into fascinating facts of the flag starting with its development in the Colonial period. He covers a string of colorful and prominent characters who have helped shape the history of the flag. You will have a new appreciation for our flag when you read this. You can find more information on the book by visiting www.flagbiography.com
