Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 6. (ed. Frank Moore), Trophies of the field of Antietam. (search)
attle-flag captured at Antietam, similar to No. 4, with the words Seven Pines, in large letters on the lower edge. 6. A large and very splendid silk flag, with the staff shot in two in the middle. This flag is composed of silk of three colors, and when new must have been a very superb one. The field is of deep blue, with a single large straw colored star in the centre. The bars are of straw color and delicate purple. On the field at the top is inscribed Seven Pines, on the yellow bar, Gaines' farm and Eltham's Landing, and Malvern hills on the purple bar. It is much torn and stained, and is bordered with heavy but tarnished silver fringe. This is evidently a Texan standard. I regret that I could not learn its history. 7. Flag of North-Carolina. Red field with single star. Above the star is the inscription, May 20th, 1775, referring to the Mecklenburgh Declaration of Independence; below the star, May 20th, 1861, referring to the rebel declaration of independence.
