How many Florida flags still exist?

Not many as there weren't that many to start with.

There is a rather long flag for 1st Florida Battalion in "Echoes of Glory: Arms and Equipment of the Confederacy". I don't know if it has a index that identifies the source of the photo.

The flag has a very wide white border, 12 six-pointed stars and "SHILOH" battle credit.

There are two flags of the 8th Fl. that still exist, one captured at Gettysburg and one captured at Saylor's Creek.

That is one of the first things I learned when I started reading about Civil War Florida. Sparsely populated state at the time.

Where did you find that?

Both are at the Museum of Florida History in Tallahassee.

Good information. I didn't have time to go there during my only visit to Tallahassee so far. That museum and a couple other places are on my list of things to do on my next visit there. A direct ancestor on my mother's side served in the 6th FLA Infantry.

The Tallahassee museum is free. If you are only interested in Civil War history a tour will not take to long. However, if you like all history, then plan for a couple hours or more.

I was lucky to be driving past Tallahassee at the right time with a couple hours to spare. I had not really planned a stop in Tallahassee but was glad I did.
