Shiloh Battle Flag Returned to Iowa History Society
During a reunion of Crocker's Brigade veterans an elderly veteran recalls fife music and camaraderie. Samuel G. Bridges of Keokuk presented a finely crafted silk flag to the Fifteenth at Shiloh, honoring officers and men. The old flag, riddled by bullets, survived to be sent to the Iowa Historical Society. Color-Corporal Black fell mortally wounded at Corinth while still clutching the banner.
