This is from a slide show, but is not a bad image of a cavalry flag.

Beautiful flag. "If you seek a pleasant peninsula look around you." " I will defend "

I see that this must be their first flag. Looks to be in very good condition.

From the same slide show.

The 8th Michigan Cavalry flag in rough shape. I should have gotten closer to the Monitor and need to take a better image.
