Memory of Liberty Pole Moments Stirs Local Letters
A Courier and Reporter request prompts W E Washburn of 209 Blu Street to recount Civil War era memories of the Liberty flag pole. He describes the early 1860s flag raising, a rope mishap, a ladder and fishpole fix, and a later incident where a torn flag spurred his father Captain Fred Washburn to speak of killing the man who desecrated it. The large flag was eventually replaced by a new pole in 1863.
