19th Alabama flags captured

Hello,

Great letter - and one I seem to have missed from my last run to the Alabama archives last year!

I also recently compiled a master list of all CS flags taken in the Chattanooga Campaign of late November, 1863. I believe that the 19th Alabama lost their Dea's Brigade pattern flag (blue field with white St. George's cross) on Missionary Ridge. This was deduced by the Federal reports, where their unit operated and the maps the the national park where I worked on this with their staff historians a couple weeks ago.

Where this flag is today I don't know.

Hope this was of interest.
