The thirteen-stripe, fifty-star flag is as familiar an American icon as any that has existed in the nation's history. Yet the history of the flag, especially its origins, is cloaked in myth and misinformation. Flag: An American Biography rectifies that situation by presenting a lively, comprehensive, illuminating look at the history of the American flag from its beginnings to today.

Journalist and historian Marc Leepson uncovers scores of little-known, fascinating facts as he traces the evolution of the American flag from the colonial period to the twenty-first century. Flag sifts through the historical evidence to---among many other things---uncover the truth behind the Betsy Ross myth and to discover the true designer of the Stars and Stripes. It details the many colorful and influential Americans who shaped the history of the flag.

"Flag, " as the novelist Nelson DeMille says in his preface, "is not a book with an agenda or a subjective point of view. It is an objective history of the American flag, well researched, well presented, easy to read and understand, and very informative and entertaining."

"Our love for the flag may be incomprehensible to others, but at least we now have a comprehensive guide to its unfolding."
---The Wall Street Journal

"The fascination of history is in its details, and the author of Flag: An American Biography knows how to find them and turn them into compelling reading.... This book brings out the irony, humor, myth, and behind-the-scenes happenings that make our flag's 228-year history so fascinating."
---The Saturday Evening Post

"Timely and insightful."
---The Dallas Morning News

Not greasy at all
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
This is my first mineral sunscreen. I love that it is not greasy at all. It's easy to apply, and hasn't caused any irritation to my baby's skin.

Fantastic start up
Truskin products are fantastic in my opinion. Not expensive AND effective.. what more can you ask. This 3 pack with Hyaluronic acid, Retinol, and Vitamin C is perfect. I go through the HA faster than the rest so I end up buying the bigger bottle of it. The Vitamin C serum feels incredible on my skin. It feels more moisturizing than the HA. I love using it- just please don’t forget the SPF. This combo pack is perfect for anyone looking to care for their skin. I don’t notice any off putting odors. They all dry down quickly. My skin has not reacted poorly to any of the products. I do stick to my routine of actives(retinol, vit c, tea tree- rotated)to 3x a week and the other days are gentle cleansing, moisturizer and SPF. Since I have switched my skin care routine to TruSkin, I have noticed better looking skin. I’m moisturized with soft youthful looking skin. Recommend and will be buying more.

I didn’t expect this to actually work.
I didn’t take a before photo. Because I legit didn’t expect this to do anything to my skin. I’ve used similar serums before with no results. But here I am, spreading the word because I’m a believer. To describe my skin: aging (mid 40’s), a few wrinkles here and there, nothing insane, very fair, super dry, with an oddly greasy forehead. Minor sun damage, uneven texture and big fat pores that I loathe. Occasional zit here and there. I also have rosacea. It’s the kind of rosacea that turns me bright red when I’m overheated or angry, or if I rub my face too much. It’s doesn’t change the texture or anything, just turns me bright red. My dermatologist prescribed me a cream for it, but warned me that it is the kind of rosacea that is not always easy to treat because it comes from deep under the skin and is situational. The cream was short lived because it dried me out severely. I recently had a trusted friend who is also an oculoplastics surgeon suggest a good vitamin c serum and retinol. He didn’t suggest a brand, just use of the product. So I went hunting on Amazon. This product had great reviews. I figured I’d invest in the three pack since I also knew Hyaluronic acid was a must. My first impressions: Shortly after I ordered it, hadn’t yet received, I got an email from the company offering assistance if needed and gratitude for purchasing product. Good to know I had that standing by if needed. Who doesn’t appreciate a business committed to having happy customers? My first impression for my first uses of the products was positive. Obviously it was too early to see any noticeable changes, but I did like that the serums don’t have smells, they dried very quickly and they’re super easy to rub in. A little goes a long way too. I’m going to reiterate that they don’t smell. Many products say ‘unscented’ but you can still smell something, bad or good. The only one I can mildly smell is the hyaluronic acid and it smells pleasant and clean, but even then, I can barely smell it when I first start rubbing it in. Any smell is gone almost instantly. I can’t describe the smell because by the time my brain realizes I’m smelling something, the smell is already gone. So that’s nice! My impression now, after using it a while: I love it! My redness is greatly reduced. In addition to my rosacea, my very fair skin can be somewhat translucent in places and kind of reveals the semblance of some blood vessels under my skin. This has minimized them tremendously. My “elevens” are lessened as well. This was a big surprise…that wrinkle, along with some wrinkling around my eyes has noticeably lessened. And I want to reiterate that this is all easily noticeable to me without a before photo. It is hard to notice subtle, gradual changes when we don’t have a photo for before and after comparisons - but I’ve noticed. I introduced another item from another brand, and I think that it’s has helped greatly with my pores but I believe these serums have helped too- my pores are barely visible. I am also very impressed by the texture of my skin. I have ALWAYS struggled with uneven texture. I’ve done all the texture improving techniques, tried the products claiming to improve texture, everything I knew to do, with no real difference. But this- this changed the feel of my facial skin entirely. I bumped my own cheek a couple days ago and actually had to rub my face again to ensure it was MY skin I was feeling. It was like a tactile double take. Why? Because my skin was silky smooth. My makeup wears so much better on my skin. My skin looks noticeably younger and brighter and I haven’t had any new zits either since I started. I cannot express enough how happy I am with these changes and these serums. I truly expected these to be items I ended up not using and simply giving them away. But these are staples now. They are worth every penny and a bargain for the skin changes. I look forward to seeing more improvements in my skin over time and I highly recommend this product to any skeptic like I was.

Great stuff definitely recommend at least trying
I've been using the TruSkin Vitamin C serum for over a year, and it's done a solid job brightening my complexion and fading dark spots. Finally gave the full Face Serum Trio a shot with the hyaluronic acid and retinol, and after about a month, it's working great, just like the Vitamin C. The hyaluronic acid hydrates my skin well without any grease, and the retinol's knocked down some fine lines, making things smoother and fresher. Layering them has improved the texture and glow noticeably. No irritation on my sensitive skin. Solid value—I picked this up at $26 when it was Prime Day, but even at that $40 price range, it's still worth it in my opinion since it can last a while. Definitely recommend
