I am reading the above book (Second Edition, 1991) and on page 307 the author, based on the report of Colonel Hume Feild described a Hardee battle flag as such: "which pictured a black ball in the center of a white background".
I am used to a Hardee flag generally being a white sphere somewhat in the center of a blue background. Did a flag as described above actually exist?
If so, how common would it have been in 1862 and are there still any around in a museum or collection.
Thanks.
