About this book

The Stars and Stripes From Washington to Wilson, 1777-1914, traces the history of the American flag from the Continental Congress resolution of June 1777 through the eve of the First World War. Charles West Stewart, long the superintendent of naval records in Washington, assembles the documentary record: the early variant flags, the additions of stars and stripes as states joined, the legislation of 1818 that fixed the thirteen stripes, and naval usage across the century. The book is a compact documentary history of the national emblem.
