Hi all,
Just out of curosity, and looking into for a BHW toy soldier set up, first of all would the milita have it's flags? If so, what would they look like? Or would they only be issued national banners?

We know that some Illinois militia regiments had them, because there are rosters that list a color-bearer. We know that Dodge was awarded a flag in Galena, as were other prominant militia leaders. Now what these flags looked like I am rather unclear. My best guess is that they were the National colors. No flags were issued to militia by the Federal government for the Black Hawk War, so far as I have been able to uncover. These were hand-made creations, sewn by local women. Regards, Bob. |
