Report of the Battle Flag Committee appointed by the Twenty-Fourth General Assembly to provide cases and transfer the Iowa battle flags from the Arsenal to the State capitol
An 1896 official report by Iowa's Battle Flag Committee, printed by the state printer in Des Moines, documenting the transfer of Civil War regimental colors from the Arsenal to the capitol for legislators and veterans. Halftone photographs show numbered clusters of tattered silk flags on staffs, paired with crude pen-and-ink initial vignettes of stacked rifles, tents, and flag-bearers.
