Not trying to restart any old arguments on this topic, but just came across more information on a SC flag in Iowa. I will say right now that this is a DIFFERENT flag that the one previously mentioned (the picture of it shows several differences, not to mention it is blue and not red). I believe it is much larger (though I do not know the size of the one that has been discussed at length). I can't remember all that was said before, so someone probably mentioned this before, but here is a link to a source that can give a MUCH earlier listing of information known about a SC flag (from a museum perspective of where it came from etc...). I find it very interesting that this was published in 1918 (a year before the other flag came to the Iowa Historic Society). I am very interested to see that this one has a much more detailed record of how it was captured.

A picture is shown (b&w), and the details for the flag start on page 5. Hope this is of interest.
