About this Item

Sarah's Flag For Texas by Jane Alexander Knapik. Published by Eakin Press, Austin, TX, 1993. 1st Signed Edition. Hardbound. No DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Fine. Signed by author on title page. 114 Pgs. ISBN 0890159009. LCCN 93-16171. Illustrated by J Kay Wilson. Many Texans give Sarah Bradley Dodson credit for having made the first Lone Star flag. Of all the early Texas flags, her creation most closely resembles the official Lone Star flag that has flown proudly in Texas since 1839. Sara made a Lone Star flag for her husband Archie Dodson and other Harrisburg men when their troop rode with the Texas army in October 1835. The flag was carried in the war to win independence for Texas, but no one knows exactly where it was used or what finally happened to it. Most of the people named in this book actually lived in early Texas and experienced the historical events related here. Details were added to make interesting reading and to show the way many Texans lived during the 1830s. Description text copyright 2010 BooksForComfort. Item ID 23512.
