Civil War battlefield.

WILMINGTON Ever hear of an American flag with the blue field in the middle of one side, rather than at the corner? James Wakefield, 1142 Banning blvd., has one dating from the Civil War, when Union soldiers often carried flags on their person when going into battle. The banner has a field of 26 stars surrounded on three sides by stripes. Although no such flag was ever authorized by the government as an official United States emblem, Wakefield’s flag has a memorable history. It was made during the early part of the war by one of his ancestors for William F. Wakefield, his great uncle who served with the North in Co. D of the 10th Kentucky Volunteers. William carried the emblem wherever he went with the outfit, which included the invasion of Tennessee in 1862. * His aunt wrote to him: “I was proud to read in your letter of the old flag floating over the capitol of Tennessee and of the Union forces having possession of the state.” William was wounded and died shortly before the end of the war. The flag he carried has a few faded blood stains on the white stripes. Following the soldier’s death, the emblem was passed on to others in the family and finally was handed dowr. to Wakefield. Today he keeps the relic in a shoe box along with other trinkets and letters of the period. The main causes of farm fires include lightning, defective chimneys, sparks on roofs, stoves and furnaces, hot ashes, spontaneous ignition of hay, misuse of electricity, matches and smoking.

Comments from "Heritage Auctions": "Civil War: 13-Star Navy Flag. 140" x 64" hand-sewn cotton flag dating from the Civil War period [1861-1865] and likely used as a naval jack. The canton has a most unusual pattern of stars... a variation of the "Battle of Cowpens" pattern. The stars appear on both sides, facilitated by a cut-out for each star, such that it shows through. The canvas hoist has a rope insert and there are, in addition, three whipped grommets. There is a vertical [red] stripe on the fly end, as well as seventeen horizontal stripes, both unusual features." .[note: the vertical red stripe on the fly end was probably placed there to reinforce and prevent the fraying of the fly end.] Photo credit: Heritage Auctions -William Garrison, 5 April 2024 (https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/us-1777.html)

This medal was created for the Reunion of the 148th New York Volunteer Infantry unit.

37 star American flag flown over Fort Walla Walla, it was made for the 1st Washington Territory Infantry Regiment. Unknown if the flag started with 34 stars then to they added 3 more, or it was always had 37 stars. The other three stars might’ve represented the other territories, desire for statehood like Washington territory, Nebraska territory and Nevada territory. This flag was most likely a Garrison flag (a large flag used for forts) as it was too long to be carried on a pole. The flag was described as: "...The flag is sixteen feet long, much tattered, but with its colors still bright. The thirty-seven stars in the field..."-Aberdeen Herald, 21 May 1906 (https://washingtondigitalnewspapers.org/?a=d&d=ABERHER19060521.1.3&srpos=49&e=-------en-20--41--txt-txIN-Flag+banner+historic+------)

Flag note from Adelia Brownell

This illustration is based on a surviving flag of the 6th Virginia Cavalry. The flag is owned by the American Civil War Museum. Battle honors for this regiment are typed along the bottom.

This confederate flag was flown in Alpine county, California over the house of a secessionist during the American Civil War to show support for the south. Most likely flown before news of an outline of the confederate flag reached the west coast. Featuring seven stars and seven stripes, unlike the stars and bars that had three. The flag was flown in June of 1861. The flag was described: “Secession Flag.— "We have heard of heard of one Secession flag in Alpine county, as yet displayed. It as flying from a house top at Washington Flat, and Is thus described ; A large star in the center, surrounded by six smaller one and having seven stripes. We are not Secessionists, neither do we sympathize with secession in any degree whatever. Our little flag contains five stars and thirteen stripes." -Sacramento Daily Union, 12 June 1861 -Weekly Butte Record, 22 June 1861 -Times Gazette, 15 June 1861
