Civil War Flags of Tennessee provides information on all known
Confederate and Union flags of the state and showcases the Civil
War flag collection of the Tennessee State Museum. This volume is
organized into three parts. Part 1 includes interpretive essays by
scholars such as Greg Biggs, Robert B. Bradley, Howard Michael
Madaus, and Fonda Ghiardi Thomsen that address how flags were used
in the Civil War, their general history, their makers, and
preservation issues, among other themes. Part 2 is a catalogue of
Tennessee Confederate flags. Part 3 is a catalogue of Tennessee
Union flags. The catalogues present a collection of some 200
identified, extant Civil War flags and another 300 flags that are
known through secondary and archival sources, all of which are
exhaustively documented. Appendices follow the two catalogue
sections and include detailed information on several Confederate
and Union flags associated with the states of Mississippi, North
Carolina, and Indiana that are also contained in the Tennessee
State Museum collection. Complete with nearly 300 color
Illustrations and meticulous notes on textiles and preservation
efforts, this volume is much more than an encyclopedic log of
Tennessee-related Civil War flags. Stephen Cox and his team also
weave the history behind the flags throughout the catalogues,
including the stories of the women who stitched them, the regiments
that bore them, and the soldiers and bearers who served under them
and carried them. Civil War Flags of Tennessee is an eloquent
hybrid between guidebook and chronicle, and the scholar, the Civil
War enthusiast, and the general reader will all enjoy what can be
found in its pages. Unprecedented in its variety and depth, Cox's
work fills an important historiographical void within the greater
context of the American Civil War. This text demonstrates the
importance of Tennessee state heritage and the value of public
history, reminding readers that each generation has the honor and
responsibility of learning from and preserving the history that has
shaped us all-and in doing so, honoring the lives of the soldiers
and civilians who sacrificed and persevered.
