Did you notice the two bullet holes that were cast into the flag....

There are two different presentation swords known that belonged to General Crawford. One of the swords was presented by staff officers to him during the war. This sword also has a metal ribbon attachment on the scabbard engraved with all the battles Crawford served in from Fort Sumter through Gettysburg to Appomattox. I recently learned that early in the war after Fort Sumter Samuel Crawford served with General Rosecrans as a staff officer. Please write of any General Crawford thoughts you may care to share.
