How very strange - I just took our family's Civil war flag to an antique appraisal on Saturday (Oct 6) - I was told it was priceless.
My Great-great grandfather W.S. Anderson - it was made for him by his wife. He enlisted in the army April 20, 1861, Company B 15th - Indiana Volunteer Infantry. Became Sergeant, and was mustered out of sevice June 25, 1864 after 3 years and 3 months of service. He was a member of the Auten post.
The flag was flown at the battles of Green Brier, Stone River, Chattanooga, Missionary Ridge and Shilo - he was wounded once.
So, if anyone out there could point me in the direction of a true appraisal, I would greatly appreciate it.
