Civil War Battle Flags of the Union Army and Order of Battle

Book Overview

In 1887, Quartermaster General C. McKeever published a compilation of Union battle flags under the title Flags of the Army of the United States Carried During the War of the Rebellion 1861-1865. He also released an order of battle as Tabular Statements Showing the Names of Commanders of Army Corps, Divisions and Brigades, United States Army, During the War of 1861-1865, which charted the hierarchy of command for all the corps. This glorious reproduction compiles both guides into one volume. Includes the flags flown over the headquarters of Grant, Custer, and Sykes, as well as the flags for each corps, brigade, division, and army; along with "tabular statements" which detail the chain of command for every corps fighting on the Union side of the Civil War. Here is a splendid treasury and a valuable reference to flesh out the collection of any Civil War enthusiast's library. 10" x 14". Color ill.
