Battle flad captured at Philipi, W.Va. Print from original in Battle Abbey, Richmond, Va. Information beside flag reads: In soldierly fellowship here are draped the standards of unknown troops, -a flag of Virginia that probably marked some public building and the banner of an Arkansas regiment saved from surrender and brought to Virginia to pay tribute to the men who fought on The Mississippi.
W. Va. flag borne by the 13th Infantry - one of the last preserved of the Civil War Flags when furled and cased more than fifty years ago. See West Virginia Collection Pamphlet 6610 and Boyd Stutler's 'WV in the Civil War.'
