- CONFEDERATE FLAG FRAGMENT These
CONFEDERATE FLAG FRAGMENT These silken colors of the battle flag of the Confederacy have been fashioned by a Virginial girl whose father, before she was born, was wounded while fighting under them. Yet she, with consistent Patriotism, cheered three of her brothers when they recently went to Cuba with General Fitzhugh Lee in the Volunteer Army of the United States in the war with Spain.
Miss. Juliah Mann of Petersburg, Virginia, through a friend who knows and admires him, pre sents these colors with her compliments of Colonel N.P. Pond of Rochester, NY – A Gentleman whose courtliness, in time of peace, must be the reflex of his gallantry in war. Petersburg, Virginia. November 17th, 1899.
A piece of the first rebel flag captured in the last Civil War.
The flag was taken from the roof of a Hotel in Alexandria, May 24th, 1861 by Col. Ellsworth.
Coming out of the hotel with the flag, the bearer was shot dead by the landlord, who in turn, was killed by Ellsworth’s soldiers.
One of these soldiers was Mr. Frank Brownell. Mr. Brownell gave a part of the historic flag to a Mr. Millard, whose son in turn gave a piece to Mr. Sam’l Mc Auliffe, who gave this piece to N. P. Pond in Nov. 1899.

- MISSOURI FIRST NATIONAL CONFEDERATE

Note: The original owner of the flag was Russell B. Caples who was born on December 23, 1841, near Weston, Missouri, the son of a minister. When the Civil War broke out, he joined the Confederate army as a private in Searcy?s Sharpshooters, a company in the 16th Missouri infantry. He fought in the western theater early on under General Earl Van Dorn then General Sterling Price and fought in many battles until he was wounded at the Battle of Vicksburg and evacuated to Louisiana. After he recovered from his wounds, he returned to the regiment and was given the rank of Brevet Lieutenant. In April 1865, what was left of his regiment surrendered at Shreveport, Louisiana and he returned home to Glasgow, Missouri. He wrote ?Returning to Glasgow, I kept my sash and the flag under which I had fought so many battles.? He returned home to find out his father had been mortally wounded during the Battle of Glasgow and had died. He had no job, no money, and had two half-sisters to take care of. Caples gave up farming to become a lawyer and in the early 1870s he was admitted to the bar. He married Miss Agnes Belden Watts in 1877 and had six children. Although having been a democrat, he switched to the Republican party as he said, ?the Republican party was the party that did things-from the abolishing of slavery to the building of the Panama Canal.? Later in life he was a well-respected judge as well as an advocate of the soldiers who had fought during the war and younger folks serving in the military. Caples died on October 26, 1915.

- Civil War 15th Army Corps Forty
Civil War 15th Army Corps Forty Rounds Headquarters Guidon Worsted wool 49 x 60 in. overall 36 in. forked end. Red field stenciled with ''Forty Rounds'' and a U.S. cartridge box. Blue border machine stitched to red field with reinforced hand-stitching along area near forked end. Gold cotton fringe hand-stitched to blue border. Canvas hoist machine-stitched to field with inked in block letters 2d Brigd 15th.General Orders 10 Fifteenth Army Corps of February 14 1865 established a color coded system for the Corps' divisional and brigade flags. This was modified on April 9 1865 with General Orders No. 21 which specified the corps and four division flags to be ''silk or bunting five feet six inches fly five feet hoist.'' The brigade flags were specified to be ''swallowtailed five feet from the peak to end of the swallowtail and three feet to the fork four feet five inches on pike. The field of the flag shall be the division color and besides fringe it will have a border of one of the Corps colors other than the particular Division color.'' This swallowtail guidon generally conforms to the specifications of General Orders No. 21 including the yellow fringe prescribed for the divisional flags. The headquarters flag of the First Division in conformance with the orders was red. This guidon with red field and blue border is that of the First Division Second Brigade Fifteenth Corps which was specified in the General Orders to be ''field div. color border blue.'' Indeed the flag is marked on the hoist edge ''2nd Brigd 15th A...'' Color images of all Union headquarters flags including for this guidon can be found in the book Civil War Battle Flags of the Union Army and Order of Battle compiled by Gen. C. McKeever Quartermaster General of the U.S. Army. At the time of issue of this guidon the First Division was commanded by Bvt. Maj. Gen. Charles R. Woods and the Second Brigade by Col. Robert Catterson. His brigade consisted of the 26th 40th 103rd Illinois; 97th and 100th Indiana; 6th Iowa and the 46th Ohio Infantry. The Fifteenth Corps and this division were heavily engaged in the Battle of Bentonville in North Carolina on March 21 1865 before these flags were issued. The story of how the Fifteenth Corps adopted their corps badge may be as much apocryphal as real. The story goes however that one day an enlisted man in the corps of Major General John A. ''Blackjack'' Logan was asked where his corps patch was. Clapping his hand on his cartridge box he said ''Forty Rounds. Can you show me a better one?'' Shortly thereafter Logan issued General Order No. 10 prescribing that the badge for the Fifteenth Corps should be a miniature cartridge box and above the box will be inscribed the words 'Forty Rounds.' The Fifteenth Corps was a favorite of Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman probably because he was its first commander after its creation on December 18 1862. Sherman commanded the corps into the siege of Chattanooga in November 1863 where he took over command of the Army of the Tennessee. Maj. Gen. Frank Blair took over for a short time before being replaced by Maj. Gen. John A. Logan who led the corps through the Atlanta Campaign. In September 1864 Maj. Gen. Peter Osterhaus commanded the corps on the March to the Sea. Logan returned to command in January 1865 for the campaign into South and North Carolina. Maj. Gen. William B. Hazen commanded the corps from May 1865 though its disbandment in August. Union designating or headquarters flags are quite rare with not that many to be found in museums and even fewer in private hands. These are dominated by the flags of the eastern Army of the Potomac with very few western Union Army headquarters flags surviving certainly fewer than those of its eastern counterparts. To our knowledge no other such flag has appeared on the market in the last two decades. An exceptionally rare flag from the end of the Civil War. Greg Biggs Clarksville Tennessee. March 2012 Provenance: Found in North Carolina and descended in the family of Reverend John K. Mason of Richmond Virginia. Condition: Very Good Mothing fraying the fly edge is distressed. Canvas hoist split.
