Alabama flags in Iowa

Glenn,
Could I get Mr. Johnson's phone number from you? Is he is Des Moines or Iowa City (the captured flags collection is split between both places, the last time I heard).
I need to get these pictures for my files and Alabama flags book.
The 31st Alabama and 45th Alabama are the only ones I know of in Iowa. Wisconsin has the flag of Waddell's Battery taken at Champion's Hill. I saw it several years ago while in Madison at the state archives. Not in the best of shape sadly.
The flags taken at Columbus, GA. are either fort and garrison flags (courtesy of Wilson's Raid) or local defense units, from what I have been able to find so far.
