Conserved the First National Streamer which flew on top of the staff of the 1st Texas Flag. Presented by six young ladies from Houston, Texas, to George A. Branard, 1st Texas Infantry Color Bearer in late December 1862. The streamer was carried in many battles, notably at Gettysburg, where Branard was wounded. It was brought home from the Appomattox Courthouse in 1865 and was donated by Branard on July 1, 1896 to the Museum of the Confederacy, Richmond. |
