Civil War Flags

41st Illinois Infantry National Flag

Description

The inscriptions on this flag are difficult to read because of deterioration of the silk and paint. They originally read:41st Ills.___?, FORT HENRY, FORT DONELSON, PITTSBURG LANDING, SIEGE OF CORINTH, METAMORA.

Many of the photos are the property of and used with permission from the Adjutant General of the State of Illinois.
