CONFEDERATE CIVIL WAR FLAG IN MAINE
I have been told there is a Confederate flag of the 15th Mississippi Infantry somewhere in Maine, and I am trying to get information on this flag. I do not know if it is in a public or private collection. The flag would most probably be of the type called the "First National" or "Stars and Bars," not the traditional battle flag style. This flag may have been captured by a Federal soldier early in the war. Any info or hints welcome! Geoff Walden

I'm writing a book on Gettysburg, and a prerequisite of each small chapter is a picture of an individual of whom I'm writing. I am in need of two items: (1) story of a Gettysburg participant from your state whose actions serve as a LESSON that we can all learn from (doesn't have to be a HEROIC action); and (2) a picture of that person.Can you help? I would appreciate hearing from you as your earliest convenience. Thank you. Paul Hemphill
