Ben,
No one is going to misinterpret you here. I have not and will not. All I care about is finding the truth about this flag that you claim to be that of Rucker's Brigade captured in the Battle of Nashville. So far as I know you are the only one that makes this claim. There is nothing to support this claim - just a hunch on your part because your flag looks like a similar flag that the 7th Alabama Cavalry did use.
I will start posting my evidence to the contrary this week in a scholarly and gentlemanly manner. Let the chips fall where they may and let the board members decide who is right.
