 THE
61ST PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
The flag remnant above came from one of the Regimental Flags used by
the 61st Pennsylvania Volunteers during the Civil War. While this
regiment did not win specific acclaim for turning the course of a
battle, it was a workhorse unit that participated in the vast majority
of the battles fought by the Army of the Potomac and it also fought
briefly in the Army of the Shenandoah. The major battles the unit
fought in were: Fair Oaks, Malvern Hill, Fredericksburg, Antietam,
Marye's Heights, Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, Winchester,
Cedar Creek, Gettysburg, Petersburg, and Appomattox Court House. At
Fair Oaks, the unit was mauled by Micah Jenkins' Confederates and lost
263 men and all the field officers were killed, wounded, or captured.
The unit lost 151 men at the Wilderness and 139 at Spotsylvania. The
61st lost more officers in combat than any other Federal regiment and
the battle deaths were the 15th highest of the 2000 Federal regiments
that fought in the War. In spite of tremendous losses the 61st never
lost a battle flag and was mustered out in Pittsburg ending the
tragedy and suffering of its tired men. The copy photo above shows
Federal troops staging before the Battle of Fair Oaks where the 61st
suffered their greatest losses in soldiers and officers. (a) fragments
from the flag.............................................$125.00
(b) partial gold painted star......................$200.00
(c) entire gold painted
star.........................................$295.00

 THE
AGE OF CUSTER, George Armstrong Custer was an aggressive
cavalry commander during the Civil War leading his Michigan Brigade
into battle such as he did at Gettysburg. For his actions, he was made
a Major General at age 23. Other battles he and his brigade took part
in were the Wilderness, Yellow Tavern, Trevelian Station, the Valley
Campaigns of 1864, and the final campaign stopping Lee from moving
south from Appomattox. After the War, he was made Lt. Colonel of the
7th U.S. Cavalry in the West and was killed at the Battle of Little
Big Horn by a force of Indians consisting of Sioux, Cheyenne, and
Arapaho led by Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull. The copy photo above
shows Custer leading his men into the Black Hills in the Dakotas.
Custer is seen in the light colored shirt. The brass cavalry insignia
is the model 1873 crossed sabers, the type worn by the cavalry during
the Indian Wars. The flag remnant dates from the Civil War (1863-65)
when Custer was made famous for his daring cavalry charges.
