By order of General P.G.T. Beauregard and based on William Porcher Miles design, the Cary Girls, sisters Hetty and Jennie and their cousin Constance, ‘put their best stitches’ to the first Confederate Battle Flag. This flag, and two identical ones, were sewn in the Autumn of 1861 and were presented to Beauregard, General Joseph Johnston and General Earl Van Dorn. They were the vanguard of the design which would come to be recognized as a rally point to all the forces of the Army of Northern Virginia throughout the conflict that divided a nation.

Edition Limit: 1500
Price: $125.00

Major's star on collar
Bullet Hole in Major's frock coat skirt

Shot damage on Battle Flag
In a scene that was repeated countless times throughout the war, a Color Sergeant is struck down in the midst of rallying his unit. A constant force on the front, a Regimental officer is hit through the thigh, and, while being supported by one of his men, he grabs the color from the dying sergeant ti bring his men in order. Such were the officers and men of the Army of Northern Virginia. The men would recognize their Regimental Color, and fight for it's honor, regardless of the personal risks involved.

It was said of the tenacious General U..S. Grant, that compassion for his foes was remarkable when he dictated the terms for surrender. One of the few stipulations in the terms was to stack arms and surrender the precious and glorius Battle flags that now were as full of scars as they were of battle honors. This last sculpture depicts that moment when the flag is furled for the last time: some stained with hero's blood, all stained with tears, none stained with dishonor.
