San Jacinto Flag

1860s newsprint

Bellville [TX] Countryman, November 28, 1860

The flag that waved in the thick of the fight at San Jacinto, was yesterday flung to the breeze from the tallest flag staff in the city, in token of the love which many of our citizens feel for the “Lone Star,” and their wish to see it again take its place independently among the nations of the earth.—Houston Telegraph.
