Re: Biggs on CSA Battle Flags and First National

Greg,

As you know the information upon which Devereaux based his claim was provided by me and was the result of years worth of research. Not only does the report of the committee make it clear, but the period newspapers do as well. The story of how the Marschall claim (he did not claim it, others did) came to be, is even more complex than presented here. I don't have time to go into the details now but have a couple of articles in the works that I will keep you posted on. Both should be quite revealing. One tid bit that you all might enjoy is that the flag was first referred to as the "Stars and Bars" by Johnson J. Hooper editor of one of the Montgomery papers. I'll send the exact quote when I get to the office later today.
