An interesting and valuable book for Civil War HistoriansApr 06, 2003
By historyone
This is one of Glenn Dedmondt's books of Civil War Flags of the Confederacy the others in the series include Civil War Flags of Louisiana, South Carolina, and North Carolina.There are illustrations of the flags that Alabama Regiments flown in battle and in camp. Stories behind the flags tell of how they were made and presented to the units that fought for the Confederacy. These stories are interesting and a valuable resource to the Civil War Historian who is interested about individual regiments that fought for the Confederacy. The regiments that fought certainly had a wide variety of flags. From the basic 1st National Flag and its varieties, to the Army Of Northern Virginia aka "The Confederate Battle Flag" that units made modifications to as well as quite unique flags that were presented by the Ladies of various towns, all these flags are shown either in illustration or in pictures. This makes for quite enjoyable and interesting reading. Some of the flags flown met with violent ends. Some were captured in battle by Union Soldiers. Other flags were secretly secured by soldiers who would of rather been killed then give up their flags. Some of these flags that were flown in battle had their color bearers shot while charging the regiment (in some circumstances 3 to 9 color bearers were killed while flying the same flag in battle). These make interesting and tragic stories that will keep the reader way into the night-time hours looking at the flags and their history. This series is an invaluable tool for the Civil War Researcher/Historian, as well as the "arm-chair" historian who would like to know more about the Civil War. Highly Recommended!!
