Reading Geo Neese "Three Years in the Confederate Horse Artillery". On page 49, under date of 28 April 1862 he states, " I think that the Tenth Regiment of Virginia Infantry has recently joined Jackson's army, and has quite lately arrived from the Rappahannock. Today was the first time I saw it. It carries a large and splendid Virginia 'Sic Semper Tyrannus' flag, the first one I have seen in the army."

I thought this statement rather singular as I had surmised Virginia state flags would have been common in Jackson's command prior to this since a good portion of his force was from this state.
