Re: 20th Georgia colors at Gettysburg

Hi Rich,

There is not a website that I know of out there for this topic. I found the first mention of the flag's loss in Richard Sommer's brilliant "Richmond Redeemed" book. He sent me the source for the capture.

The flag is lost to time sadly and since it was not in the divisions that got battle honors for their flags (at least on a divisional scale), I doubt the flag had any. In fact, most ANV flags were not marked.
