The Civil War Flags Message Board

Re: Eight Tenn captured Ohio National Flag

Major-General Cleburne reported that he only turned in a "Fraction" of the flags his division captured. I have many "Suspects" but without a solid source, I leave them in the *Possible department.

Yes, I have been up and down the Official Records. I have come across, Tenneesse flags captured and Tenneesse regiments that captured flags/colors. I will report this tomorrow, I am sure you know about them, hopefully a few might help you out.

The Official Records are a "Help" but many Union flags captured in all battles are not all, identified. "My regiment captured two flags" or "My brigade captured several flags". (As you can imagine is not much help,) lol.

General Cleburne was certainly mysterious, in his after-battle-reports. I suspect many regiments in MG. Mcook's "Wing" and all Union batteries on the Confederate left, center (V) shape, that broke. I will keep you posted.

Have a great afternoon,

Shawn Prouty
