Re: Union flags captured at Fort Donaldson

Excellent! I did not know that at all. It looks like all of them were Illinois regiments, so one of them might have lost a flag. I know 110% the 11th Illinois did not lose a flag at Fort Donaldson. We believe it was captured at Shiloh near where Wallace was mortally wounded.

Thank you, Gregg for the huge help on that. I will take all of those Illinois regiments and see what I can find on them at the LOC this coming up Saturday.

This was diffenitly a huge help!!
