A Beginning for Betsy,
By
This review is from: Betsy Ross and the Silver Thimble (Childhood of Famous Americans) (Paperback)
This is a quick read focusing on Betsy Ross's childhood. Young Betsy wants to do carpentry just because one of her brothers tells her she can't. But she's not cut out for the task, nor is that where her passion lies. What she's really good at is embroidery. This is a cute story about being true to yourself. The only problem is, the book doesn't give any indication of how accurate the account is. There is a page at the end that mentions Betsy's accomplishments as an adult, but this is not the resource to use if you are looking for a biography.

This review is from: Betsy Ross and the Silver Thimble (Childhood of Famous Americans) (Paperback)
I used this book for a Girl Scouts/Brownies Try-it patch on Genealogy. We talked about sewing by hand and using a thimble. This book is just right for a taste of history: Betsy Ross and sewing.
