Descendants and Friends meet in Nashville to view the flag!
The Colors http://www.26thmississippi.com/
On Saturday, December 5th [2009?], a group 26th of descendants and friends met in Nashville for a private viewing of the flag that is conjectured to be WD 289, and believed to belong to the 26th Mississippi. It was a weekend the attendees will never forget. Up until a few months ago, we despaired of ever seeing a picture of the flag. But during the private viewing, we were able to examine the flag up close, and even touch it!
Another surprise surfaced at the meeting. An autograph album of officers who were imprisoned at Fort Warren in 1862 contained inscriptions of three of our 26th Miss officers!
We know many of you wanted to come, but were unable. So we took pictures! Visit our social network and message board to see all the pics.
