Home Guards Flag’s Narrow Escape in Civil War Tale
An 1860 Frederick Home Guards flag story follows Francis Hopwood bearing the old banner through Lee’s advance, concealment in a barn and cave, avoidance of Confederate capture, and return to safety in the Hopwood family home on Barbara Fritchie’s site. The piece recalls local citizens and the unit’s brief six month existence guarding city property and barracks.
