Re: 34th Illinois Infantry Flag Capture

Ed, The 10th Texas Cavalry (Dismounted), captured the other flag of the 34th Illinois. Strange that the 4th Arkansas was on the right of the 10th Texas Cav and the 30th Arkansas on the far left in McNair's brigade, that I know of, did not capture a flag.

Only the 77th Pennsylvania (Kirk's Brigade) held their ground and they bested the 1st Arkansas. I have other Union flags captured from Kirk's brigade and regiments in that area that are still unknown.

Great article, thank you for posting that!

Have a good day,
