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

They need to find a better way to ship it
Style: 1 gal
What was left in the bottle worked great. However, the cap was off of the jug when I opened the package. Ididn't have enough for the other tires.

This stuff just works! Very impressed. If you have a slow leak, get this!
Size: 20oz
This is the second time I've bought this product. I bought one initially to test it out and I was very impressed! I had put some used tires on some used rims for my side by side and I had a couple of them leaking slowly from the side of the rim. I put this stuff in, following the directions and have no more leaks! It's been about a week with the first one, and zero loss in air pressure. I took my side by side out on the trails and thrashed around a bit, still no leaks! This stuff is legit! It comes with a valve removal tool and red valve stem covers to show you which tires you've added this too. Very easy to use, no issues whatsoever. Saves you money having to take your tires somewhere to have them look at them.

This stuff worked better than I thought it would
Size: 40oz
As my title says, this stuff worked better than I thought it would. In fact it worked so well today I will be ordering more. I say today because how can you tell if something like this is actually working... never getting a flat for years? In other words, if it fixes a flat before your eyes it works, otherwise you really don't know. See I had a lawn mower tractor that developed a real bad tire leak a couple of days ago. The way it happened was I cut a Russian Olive tree down, if you know what one of these trees are like, you already know why I got such a bad leak. These darn things have thorns that can get to be almost as big around as a pencil, and are just as sharp as a needle. Moreover, these spikes as I call them, can get to be 3" to 4" long. In short, if you run over one you will have a flat tire, period. That is unless you have this stuff inside the tire already. To make matters worse, if you run over a branch from this tree, you won't only get one or two thorns/spikes stuck in your tire, because as you drive the branch bends easily (only the spike are ridged), so before you know it you will end up with a half dozen of these spikes all the way around your tire, as if the whole tire has a new tread made up of a Russian Olive tree branch. Trust me on this, it will happen just like this. After pulling a half dozen 2" to 4" inch spikes out of the tire, I knew if I took it to a shop they would require me to put a tube in. With this inflation that isn't supposed to be an inflation going on, I'm sure it has made tire tubes today cost almost as much as the whole tire cost me just a couple of years ago. So I thought I'd put this product to a real test... I already have some in my John Deere 2305 tractor. Honestly, it shocked me how quick it worked. It worked so fast I didn't even need to add anymore air to the tire, because all the holes were shut. Pretty amazing stuff if you ask me! I followed the directions, they were easy to follow and the process was easy too. I removed the valve stem, put in 5 ounces of the solution, then put the valve stem back in, aired up the tire and it was instantly fixed... amazing, especially considering why the tire was flat... I should have taken a pic of the spikes. I did roll the tire around a bit, then mounted the tire back on the tractor and went right over and mowed my elderly neighbors lawn, so it got plenty of rotation time. That was about 4 hours ago and the tire is still rock hard. Like I said, I'm ordering more because after seeing this everything we have that runs slow will have this stuff in the tires! Oh, one other thing. The fix-it flat stuff in a spray can, DO NOT USE IT for applications like this! Because that stuff if left inside will actually glue your tire to the rim. Tires have been ruined trying to pry them away from the rim after putting in fix-a-flat, or whatever that crap is called. Sadly this "TireJect" is not recommended for high speed travel, it will through your tire out of balance. So use the fix-flat stuff in an emergency, carry one in your car just in case. Just make sure once you get the tire fixed wash the tire out real good before remounting it. I have never written such a long review in my life, but if you got through it I hope it helped. It's not often a product lives up to it's claims today, but this one in my opinion surpasses it, so I felt the need to say something. Besides, the warning about the Russian Olive tree just may save someone a lot of frustrations.
