Terry & George,
I had already scanned thru Cole's unit history of the 4th Alabama many
years ago. I found nothing there to indicate which flag Terrell was carrying.
I was wondering if I had missed something. I don't believe that I did miss
anything.
I now wonder WHY Powell states that it was the 4th's flag.

More than one newspaper indicated Terrell carried the flag of the 47th.
Laine & Penney in their Brigade history also indicate it was the 47th

I was hoping that someone on this board could save me a trip to the
Tulane Library.
Anyone know Powell?
