Re: 3d Mississippi Battalion their last flag.

Greg,

I can't speak on the Miss. flag(s), but you are of course right about the KY flags. When Govan's Brigade was overrun to their left and the Federals came in on the left flank and rear of the KY Orphan Brigade, the 6th Ky. Inf. flag was captured by the 10th Mich. Inf., and the 2nd Ky. Inf. tore their flag to pieces to keep it from capture.
