Flags of glory and memory in American history
A survey of storied banners housed in Annapolis and Washington reveals flags from the Revolutionary War through the Civil War era. Maryland’s regimental banner, Perry’s command flag, and the Star Spangled Banner at the National Museum are contrasted with other historic ensigns, including a British standard captured in 1813 and Mexican trophies at the Naval Academy.
