Flag carried by Maine regiment returns home
An American
flag that a Maine regiment brought into battles in Louisiana and Texas during
the Civil War has returned to its home state. The Portland Press Herald reports
the torn and tattered 156-year-old flag has been delivered in a wooden frame to
the Maine Military Museum in South Portland. The flag had been stored for years
at the home of a Colorado woman who was married to the regiment commander's
great-grandson. • Article
