Mississippi Confederate Flags on Display

If anyone is in Central Mississippi, the Mississippi Department of Archives and History has on display in the lobby of the archives building the following flags:

The headquarters flag of General Winfield Scott Featherston, captured by the 88th Illinois Infantry at the Battle of Franklin, Tennessee

Battleflag of the 4th Mississippi Infantry

Flag of the "Burt Rifles," Company K, 18th Mississippi Infantry

Flag of Company E, "Liberty Guards," 22nd Mississippi Infantry

Battleflag of the 33rd Mississippi Infantry, captured by the 26th Wisconsin Infantry at the Battle of Peachtree Creek, Georgia

Battleflag of the 41st Mississippi Infantry

All of these flags have been professionally conserved thanks to the efforts of the Mississippi Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans. This is only a temporary display, but it will be up until the fall. I plan to post pictures of the flags on my blog at wordpress.com.
