In your opinion, is this topic worth further discussion? Having entered this thread late, I'm unclear as to why this flag (if it existed) would have been at Rucker's Battery 1. A flag presented to Capt Stewart and the PCA in 1861 should have been carried by members of the original battery and gone with them to Fort Pillow. Also, if the expedition which spiked the guns at Battery 1 actually brought a Confederate banner back to their boats, why would its capture have been kept a secret?
