Re: Two colors lost at Bristow Station

Tom & Greg,
Not to muddy the waters, but there may be more than two
captured flags at Bristoe Station.
I call your attentions to the New York Sanitary Fair held in April 1864.
The Catalogue of Artifacts displayed has two seperate listings for the
captures at Bristoe.
#710 - Confederate Flag captured at Bristoe Station by

the 2nd Corps. Exhibited by Mrs. Geo. B. McClellan
#959 - TWO Confederate Battle Flags captured at Bristoe

Station, Va. on October 14, 1863.

Exhibited by Mrs. Gen. McDowell.
