Thanks for the information about Company B's flag. Oh, and do you happen to have the whole article
pertaining to the "Jackson Guards" flag presentation ceremony from the (The Atlanta Southern Confederacy newspaper of May 23, 1861) ? I would interested in knowing if it contains anything else on this company! i also found out that their uniform was also dark green with gold trim, large dark hat with plume
Here is a little bit of info. on the flag that i found on Google Book search:
Maybe you may want to use some of this in your book on Georgia Civil War flags.
