About the author
Grace Rogers Cooper
1924–2004
A Smithsonian curator and historian of textiles, she wrote lively, practical histories that made everyday objects—especially flags and sewing machines—feel rich with stories. Her work helped preserve the material culture of American life for general readers as well as researchers.
