Summary

Description
English: Unique American flag flown in Kentucky during the American civil war. The flag differs from the American flag by having a white canton and pink stars. The star pattern is a guess.


"A few miles above, at the log house of a Kentucky squatter, a loyal flag was flying. It was twice too long for its width, and the stars were of pink, upon a white ground !" -Sacramento Daily Union, 20 July 1861
