Pennsylvania's Civil War battle flags are documented in two volumes dedicated solely to the detailed examination of flags carried by more than three hundred thousand Pennsylvanians during this tragic episode in the nation's history. ADVANCE THE COLORS! is a carefully researched documentary describing the history of Civil War flags used in Pennsylvania. This book contains sketches of each regiment's flags in numerical order, in which the history of the flag constitutes the history of the regiment. Each state-issued flag is followed by a general description of the regiment's movements while carrying that banner. ADVANCE THE COLORS! features a glossary of flag & military terms, appendices on regiments' counties of origin & color-bearers, bibliographies for every regiment, & maps showing the operations of Pennsylvania's troops during the Civil War, as well as a chapter detailing the flag conservation process undertaken by the Capitol Preservation Committee. Flags are well depicted by more than two hundred color illustrations & dozens of rare nineteenth-century photographs.
