The Flags of Civil War South Carolina

by Glenn Dedmondt

Overview

This detailed historical reference covers every known flag representing the Confederate State of Carolina and its role in the Civil War.

Many flags have represented the state of South Carolina over its long history. After years of locating, measuring, and determining the historical significance of more than one hundred flags displayed during the War Between the States, historian Glenn Dedmondt presents the most detailed and comprehensive look at South Carolina's Civil War-era flags.

Included in this volume are: the Lone Star and Palmetto Flag, the first Southern flag hoisted over Fort Sumter; the Charleston Depot battle flag, and the naval Jack, flown only on a ship of war when in port. Through these banners and the stories that surround them, Dedmondt relates the story of South Carolina's Civil War years.
