I am almost finished writing a book on the Battle of Richmond,KY, fought August 30,1862, where an army mostly made up of Tennessee troops annihilated a green Union Army, inflicting over 75% casualties. Of the 17 infantry units engaged, seven were Tennessee regiments: The 2nd, 12th, 13th, 35th(AKA 5th Tennessee), 47th, 48th, and the 154th Tennessee were engaged in heavier fighting and for longer periods of time than any of the units from other Confederate states. Most were in Cleburne's division. Also, Col.James W.Starnes' 3rd Tennessee Cavalry(CSA) fought in the battle, as did the Union 1st Battalion of the 3rd Tennessee Infantry under Lt.Col.John C.Chiles, USA. My wife is working on the cover, but we really need a picture or drawing, any image of the Western Confederate flag for her to work from. The flag I'm talking about has blue where the most common flag has red, and the cross the stars are on is red rather than blue. Also, instead of the St.Andrews 'X' cross, this one is actually a cross. If anyone can help me, please send the image attached to an email, to me at infidelgrunt@yahoo.com. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
