Pres./Gen.Ulysses S. Grant: Large Graphic 1868 Campaign Flag. This amazing muslin flag is unlisted in Collins' work, Threads Of History. The graphic and unusual flowing font is large and interesting, taking up most of the flag's field. The imposing 22.5" x 33.5" size is a feature that immediately attracts attention. Additionally, and not to be overlooked, is the appealing 36-star arrangement in the canton. A very unusual pattern resembling an arrangement found in a similar but much smaller flag in the Ralph E. Becker Collection at the Smithsonian.
