The Fort Sumter flags: A study in documentation and authentication
Jensen LD. 1982. The Fort Sumter flags: A study in documentation and authentication. Harpers Ferry Center
This study documents and authenticates two flags by Fort Sumter National Monument; the Garrison Flag (Cat. #08) and the Storm Flag (Cat. #09). It concludes that both flags are original and authentic to the period, that they are in fact the two flags used by the Fort Sumter garrison in April, 1861, that it was the storm flag that flew over the fort during the bombardment, and the garrison flag was saluted on April 14, 1861 and re-raised over Fort Sumter on April 14, 1865.
