Alamo
On March 6, 1836, the Mexican army under General Santa Anna
breached the walls of the Alamo at San Antonio, Texas, after
thirteen days of continuous assaults. Jim Bowie, Davey
Crockett, and William Travis were among the 187 defenders
who died that morning. All were avenged six weeks later when
Sam Houston, with the cry "Remember the Alamo," defeated
Santa Anna and established the independence of the Texas
Republic. This flag was used from 1824 until the 1830's. |

French Fleur-De-Lis (Blue), AKA "Lilly Banner"
This flag was used from 1400 until 1590. The most important flag
carried by explorers and settlers was most likely the royal
flag, since this was a symbol of the authority of the king in
the new lands. In the early sixteenth century the French royal
flag was blue with three gold fleurs-de-lis representing
directly the shield in the royal French coat of arms. It is not
likely that the French explorers Verrazano or Cartier actually
raised this flag on land. At the time the practice of placing a
permanent marker was preferred. Fleur-de-lis translates to
"Flower of the Lily". |

Raven Banner
These flags represent the Vikings reverence for the raven. When
making long voyages Vikings took along ravens and released them.
They would fly in the direction of land leading the Viking to
safety. Thorifinn Karlsefini, brother of Leif Ericson, probably
carried this banner to the new world in 1003 A.D. |

French Fleur-De-Lis (White)
Prior to the French Revolution, there was no national flag which
represented France. A variety of flags were used by troops,
different types of ships and for other purposes. From 1590-1790
this flag is one of four that was used on warships and
fortresses. The plain white flag, known as the Bourbon Banner,
and this white flag with three golden fleurs-de-lis, a white
flag with many fleurs-de-lis, or a white flag with many
fleurs-de-lis with the arms of France in the center. The simpler
designs such as this were used in ordinary circumstances and it
is believed that the white flag of France flew over all or most
of the French forts and settlements in America. |

French Fleur-De-Lis (fleur 23)
This flag and this design with the coat of arms of France in the
center are most commonly associated with ceremonial occasions
from 1590 - 1790. There was no specified number of fleurs-de-lis
for these flags. Actually this design was printed onto lengths
of yardgoods and cut off to size as needed. The origin of the
fleur-de-lis symbol is not known for certain. Some have seen it
as a flower, others as a weapon and still others as a frog. The
original Banner of France was strewn with fleurs-de-lis. |

Betsy Ross, AKA "First Stars & Stripes"
This flag was adopted June 14, 1777 (Flag Day). The Continental
Congress on this day resolved, "That the flag of the United
States be thirteen stripes alternating red and white; that the
Union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a
new constellation". The circular design was by George
Washington, Francis Hopkins and Betsy Ross. The Congress however
did not specify an arrangement for the stars in the canton, as a
result there are many variations in the flags that followed
until 1912. |

cross continued to fly on the foremast of Scottish ships after

flag was flown by John and Sebastian Cabot on their voyages from
England to Newfoundland and the North American continent, as
well as by other English explorers. including Francis Drake, Sir
Humphrey Gilbert and Sir Walter Raleigh. Even after the adoption
of the British Union, which combined both the St. George's cross
and the St. Andrew's cross, the St. George's cross still was
flown from the foremast of English ships. Thus, we see this flag
above the Mayflower when it landed at Plymouth in 1620. |

Bunker Hill
On the night of June 16-17, 1775, the Americans fortified
Breed's and Bunker Hills overlooking Boston Harbor. Although
they had not officially declared their independence, a fight was
underway. When the British advanced up the slope the next day
they saw an early New England flag, possibly a red or blue
banner. Many early Colonial flags had been made by altering the
English flag and most still contained a reference to the mother
country. This was an example that the Colonists still saw
themselves as British subjects but were declaring their right to
be free from violation of their liberties. |

Sons of Liberty
This was the flag of the early colonist who had joined
together in the protest against the British impositions on
American economic freedom. One such protest was resistance to
the Stamp Act, on October 7, 1765. A delegate from each of the
nine colonies formed the "Stamp Act Congress" . They petitioned
the king and parliament, the act was repealed on March 18, 1766.
The flag of nine red and white stripes that represented these
"Sons of Liberty" became known as the "Rebellious Stripes." On
December 16, 1773, the Sons of Liberty protested the
parliament's Tea Act, an action that became known as the Boston
Tea Party. The colonists' believed the tax to be a violation of
their legitimate economic liberty. Three and a half years after
the Tea Party the thirteen colonies had come together in their
decision to fight for independence and the nine stripes had
grown to thirteen. The Sons of Liberty would rally under a large
tree which became known as "The Liberty Tree". |

sabers in the center. This flag was made by the Colonel's wife.
Both the Guidon and the personal flag were carried into the

resembled the modern state flag of North Dakota, with the
exception of the inscription in gold on the red ribbon which
read, 7th U.S. Cavalry. This flag was not carried into the

Grand Union
This flag was never officially sanctioned by the Continental
Congress but is considered the first flag of the United States
and was in use from late 1775 until mid 1777. This flag was an
alteration of the British Meteor flag. In its blue canton was
the red cross of ST. George and the white cross of ST. Andrew.
The thirteen stripes signified the original colonies. Retaining
the British Union in the canton indicated a continued loyalty,
as the Americans saw it, to the constitutional government
against which they fought. On January 1,1776, this flag was
first raised on Prospect Hill (then called MT. Pisgah), in
Somerville, Massachusetts. At this time the Continental army
came into formal existence. At the time it was known as the
continental colors because it represented the entire nation. In
one of Washington's letters he referred to it as the "Great
Union Flag" and it is most commonly called the Grand Union
today. |

Green Mountain Boys
On August 16, 1777 the "Green Mountain Boys" fought under
General Stark at the Battle of Bennington. It's green field
represented their name and the thirteen white stars a tribute to
the thirteen colonies. A notable victory of the Green Mountain
Boys under Ethan Allen, occurred on the morning of May 10, 1775,
when they silently invaded the British held Fort Ticonderoga and
demanded its surrender "In the name of the great Jehovah and the
Continental Congress". The captured cannon and mortars were
transported across the snow covered mountains of New England and
their installation on the heights over Boston Harbor enabled
Washington to force the British to leave that important seaport. |

Guilford Courthouse
This flag is an example of the lack of uniformity in American
flags during the Revolutionary period as each group chose what
flag to be used as it's standard. This flag has the unique
elements of an elongated canton and blue stripes. It was raised
over the Guilford Courthouse, North Carolina on March 15, 1781
under the leadership of General Greene whose militiamen halted
the British advance through the Carolinas and turned them back
to the seaport towns. This was one of the bloodiest battles of
the long war with the British losing over a quarter of their
troops. |

Irish Brigade Flags, AKA "Irish Green flags & Fenian Flags"
This flag is one of five regimental designs we carry. The
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 69th Irish regimental flags. They were
carried into battle by the New York State Volunteer Regiments.
This design represents the "first" set presented to the
volunteers by a committee of Irish ladies. The second and third
sets being a different design. The motto written in old Irish
tongue means:
" Who never retreated from the clash of spears" The motto is
thought to have been suggested by the Irish scholar John
O'Mahoney. This flag first saw battle at the battle of Bull Run
on July 21,1861. |

United East India Company
The orange, white and blue colors were from the Dutch
National flag. The "VOC" meant Vereenigte Oost Indise Compagnie
(United East India Company). Henry Hudson first brought this
flag to America in 1609 while exploring Delaware Bay and the
Hudson River. Above the letters, was the letter "A" which stood
for the home port of Amsterdam. Sometimes the "A" was inverted.
Similar flags flew above other Dutch settlements including New
Amsterdam. |

Culpeper
This flag represented a group of about one hundred minutemen
from Culpeper, Virginia. The group formed part of Colonel
Patrick Henry's First Virginia Regiment of 1775. In
October-November 1775 three hundred such minutemen, led by
Colonel Stevens, assembled at Culpeper Court House and marched
for Williamsburg. Their unusual dress alarmed the people as they
marched through the country. The word "LIBERTY OR DEATH" were in
large white letters on the breast of their hunting shirts. They
had bucks' tails in their hats and in their belts, tomahawks and
scalping knives. |

Viking Banner
These flags represent the Vikings reverence for the raven.
When making long voyages Vikings took along ravens and released
them. They would fly in the direction of land leading the Viking
to safety. Thorifinn Karlsefini, brother of Leif Eriksson,
probably carried this banner to the new world in 1003 A.D. |

Philadelphia Light Horse Troop
This troop was formed by a group of Philadelphia gentlemen on
November 17, 1774. Many were businessmen and merchants who
supplied their own uniforms, military equipment and horses. The
flag was contributed to the unit by Captain Markoe, it was
designed by John Folwell and painted by James Claypoole. The
British Union was originally painted in the canton but the
artist was instructed to paint thirteen stripes to represent the
united colonies. It was this troop that escorted General
Washington from Philadelphia to take command of the Continental
Army, assembled at Cambridge outside of Boston in June, 1775.
The Light Horse Troop later carried their flag in the Battles of
Brandywine, Germantown, Princeton and Trenton. |

Washington's Cruisers
This flag was used by George Washington on his squadron of
six schooners which he outfitted at his own expense in the fall
of 1775. This flag was a variation of the New England Pine Tree
flag. It was later modified and adopted by the Massachusetts
Navy. The Sons of Liberty would rally under a large tree, in
Boston Massachusetts, which came to be known as "The Liberty
Tree". This tree became a symbol of American independence.
Knowing they were up against a great military power they
believed they were sustained by still a greater power, thus
their "APPEAL TO HEAVEN". |

Pine Tree
This flag was in use 1775-1777. It was officially adopted by the
Massachusetts Navy in April 1776. It flew over the floating
batteries which sailed down the Charles River to attack
British-held Boston. This flag is the jack form of the "Bunker
Hill" flag. On October 20, 1775, Colonel Joseph Reed,
Washington's military secretary, recommended that this flag be
put into general usage so that American ships could recognize
one another. The "Pine Tree Flag" is a generic name for a number
of flags used by Massachusetts and by New England from 1686 to
1776. |

First Navy Jack
This flag is believed to have flown aboard the Continental
Fleet's flagship Alfred, in January, 1776. Commodore Esek
Hopkins raised this flag to signal his fleet to attack the
enemy.
Today, the only US Navy ship authorized to fly this flag is the
aircraft carrier, U.S.S. Kitty Hawk.
Notice: Effective 9-11-02, all US Naval ships will fly this flag
in lieu of the U.S. Jack to honor the victims of 9-11-01. They
will continue to fly this flag until the war on terrorism is won!

This flag was flown by General Washington during his winter
encampment at Valley Forge. General Washington had a personal

hand picked men from each colony and this special guard carried
these colors. It has been suggested that these colors may have
been the origin of the field of stars in our stars and stripes
flag. |
