Two Flags Lost by the 22nd Michigan

Shawn, do you have this one?

From: History of Michigan, Volume 1 By Charles Moore, Lewis Publishing Company

"Two flags borne by the Twenty-second Michigan at Chickamauga were lost under circumstances of great bravery, and were recaptured at the fall of Richmond. In July, 1894, through the efforts of Senator McMillan, these flags were restored to the state. See Senate Reports, 53d Congress, 2d Session."
