Re: Capture of Union Flag at Charleston, MO

Thanks, Bruce. This seems to clear up the mystery a bit. Considering the timing of the report you cited (a month before the newspaper article), it does indeed appear to be the incident described. I always enjoy accounts from both sides. Although they may not always provide the same details, they are usually close enough for a person to make an educated guess.
