** Editor's Note:
------------------------------------------------------------

With the recent dust-up around Nike’s retraction of its new Betsy Ross flag shoe, it has been surprising (or maybe not) to see the ignorance of so many about basic American history. As Dr. William J. “Bill” Federer has written ([link removed]) , Betsy Ross was a Quaker, and Quakers were the first to go on record as opposing slavery (Germantown Petition of 1688). Perhaps this fascinating overview of some of America’s other heroic women during the time of Betsy Ross will encourage the reader to continue his or her study so that the national conversation might one day return to facts and truths about our nation’s founding.

** Courageous Women of the Revolution
------------------------------------------------------------
Courageous, faithful women have always played a vital role in American history. Addressing the Daughters of the American Revolution April 19, 1926, President Calvin Coolidge spoke about “the importance of women in working out the destiny of mankind…As there were fathers in our Republic, so there were mothers….By their abiding faith they inspired and encouraged the men; by their sacrifice they performed their part in the struggle out of which came our country…”

Referred to as “camp followers,” women were organized by Martha Washington, Lucy Knox, wife of Colonel Henry Knox, and Caty Greene, wife of General Nathanael Greene, to help the Continental Army. They scavenged for supplies, cooked food, washed clothes, formed sewing circles to knit and to mend ragged uniforms and blankets, and cared for sick and dying soldiers.
