Fisk sewed the 29th Ohio flag inside his jacket, escaped with others after a night of watch, traversed about forty miles, and reached Virginia’s Sperryville with the unit’s flags soon to be delivered. The regiment extols Fisk as a hero and urges more drafted comrades to join the fight to end the rebellion.
