SynopsisThe very heart of the Confederate fighting unit was its flag, which came in a variety of designs and colours. The flag was the rallying point on the field of battle and it marked the unit headquarters in camp. In 1865, at the war's conclusion, the furling of the defeated Confederate banners signalled the end of that episode in history. As the first of three books focusing on flags of the Civil War (1861-1865), Philip Katcher's text provides a detailed look into Confederate flags. Full colour illustrations and rare photographs portray the myriad variations of flags used to represent the seceding southern states.
I bought this & the others in this series for My Grandson in the 6th grade. From what I have read & seen in the books,it looks to be a very informative series.
I recommend this series highly for anyone studying the Civil War Of the United States.
