How the Flag Became Old Glory

This novel by Emma Look Scotts is a historical recollection of events of early American history spanning the 17th to early 20th century. It covers significant events like the American Revolutionary War (1775 — 1783) fought with Britain for independence and the American Civil war (1861–65).

If you have ever wondered why the American Flag is known as “Old Glory”, then it is a fascinating read.
