Hi Alan,

Actually yes. The REAL Hardee flag of the 8th Arkansas, in private hands and coming up for sale I am told soon, has Shiloh on the hoist edge, Perryville on top and Murfreesboro on the fly edge. No crossed cannons on this earlier flag.

The Hardee flag of the 17th Tennessee has Perryvile on top (mis-spelled) and Murfreesboro on the bottom.

The 1864 Hardee/Cleburne flag for the 1st/15th Arkansas has Murfreesboro on the hoist edge, Manassas, Evansport and Shiloh on top, Tuscumbia Creek and Perryville on the fly edge and Farmington and Bridgecreek on the bottom edge.

The same issue for the 6th/7th Arkansas has Murfreesboro on top, Perryville on the fly and Chickamauga on the bottom.

Seems to be concentrated on Arkansas Hardee flags.
