(4) 4-6 In Baltimore during the War of 1812, Caroline Pickersgill helped her mother, Mary, make flags, including the one made famous as the Star-Spangled Banner. The tale is impeccably told, and the pictures are delicate and detailed. However, few hard facts are supplied in the text, known facts are altered, and suppositions are presented as true. A list of sources and "flag facts" are appended.
