[FLAGS] -- [CIVIL WAR]. 34-star "Great Star" pattern American flag. Ca 1861-1863.
84 x 138 in. hand-sewn wool flag with 34 machine-sewn, double-appliquéd cotton stars organized in the "Great Star" pattern (toning and some staining to flag, occasional holes and several areas of separation throughout, some frayed edges). Hoist is cotton, with 3 whip-stitched grommets.
