New Book! "Flags of Civil War Alabama."
Thu Apr 5 14:27:07 2001


Occasionally I've noticed on the board an inquiry regarding a certain company's or regiment's flag. I hope my new book might be of help to those who are curious and also to those who love the flags that were carried by Alabamians during the War Between the States. It has been a labor of love on my part. I hope that I've not only brought to public attention the existence of these "dream catchers" but also the spirit of the heroes who kept the dream alive.
107 flags are illustrated in color, over a dozen photographs, a few other illustrations, stories told by the color bearers. Seven sections include Civilian Flags, The First National, Alabama Infantry, Alabama Cavalry, Alabama Artillery, Higher Commands and unattached units, and Naval Flags.
The book is published by Pelican Publishing Co., Gretna, La. I think they allow a 20% discount on web orders (I guess to compete with amazon). They've done an excellent job. You may see it, at least the cover, at:

You can also order from them via the web.

No reviews yet, but I'm open for questions.
