The earliest dated artifacts to show the American flag were a pair a engraved belt tips found in excavations at the Artllery Park of the Continental Army at Pluckemin, New Jersey. Troops were stationed at this site during the winter of 1778-79. The orientation of stars on the field was five over three over five. That is the flag style that the engraver probably actually saw.

Wow. Great histories of some unique artifacts.

Virginia now offers license plates based on the Gasden flag. Yellow and blue with the uncoiling snake in the center, they are very attractive. Whenever I register a new car or motorcycle, I always ask them at the DMV for the snake plate.

“5 Famous Flags”

I hope these famous flags will not be banned from classrooms, history books, and public display.

So much of our history has been erased.

Emanuel Leutze's famous painting, Washington Crossing the Delaware, shows Lt. James Monroe holding the Stars and Stripes...six months before Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes.
