Missouri Battle Flag
"In all their motley array there was hardly a uniform to be seen, and then,
and throughout all the brilliant campaign on which they were about to enter
there was nothing to distinguish their officers, even a general, from the men in
the ranks, save a bit of red flannel, or a piece of cotton cloth, fastened to
the shoulder, or to the arm, of the former. But for all that they were the
truest and best of soldiers. Many of them, when just emerging from endured
to the dangers and privations of the wilderness; and many had engaged in the hot
strife which had ensanguined the prairies of Kansas. Among them there was hardly
a man who could not read and write, and who was not more intelligent than the
great mass of American citizens; not one who had not voluntarily abandoned his
home with all its tender ties, and thrown away all his possessions, and left
father and mother, or wife and children, within the enemy's lines, that he might
himself stand by the South in her hour of great peril, and help her to defend
her fields and her firesides. And among them all there was not a man who had
come forth to fight for slavery."
- Thomas L. Snead, on the Missouri State
Guard in his book, Fight For Missouri.

INFANTRY BATTALION of SMITH'S LEGION
'Georgia Partisan Rangers'
redesignated in March 1863 as
65th
REGIMENT
GEORGIA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY
ARMY OF TENNESSEE, C. S. A.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beginning as the 'First Georgia Partisan Rangers,' on May 21, 1862, this unit's name was changed on July 1, 1862, to 'Smith's Legion, Georgia Partisan Rangers.'
Among all the flags that were a part of the Confederate States of America and its military forces, the Confederate Battle Flag is the most well-known and beloved of all. Though it was never officially adopted by the Confederate government in Richmond, Virginia, it became the most prominent symbol of the Confederacy's struggle for independence, and remains so to this day. The magnificent beauty of this flag can only be excelled by the glorious history of its unique design. The origin of the design of this flag has its roots in both Celtic and Christian history.
This flag represents the lofty principles of personal freedom, states' rights and constitutional government. It has become the symbol of each true southerner's expression of all the ideals for which their noble ancestors fought and died. It is with affection, reverence and undying devotion to the noble cause which it represents, that we honor our Confederate Battle Flag.
Robert Stacey McCain, Assistant National Editor for The Washington Times and past journalist with the Rome News-Tribune, has written extensively about Civil War history. The following are but several articles Mr McCain has written concerning the South, Southern Heritage and present 'politically correct' attitudes toward the true cradle of the United States.

Fort Norton
On July 13, 1863, the Rome city council allocated $3,000 to build a string of forts around Rome. Over the next 3 months a significant amount of work was completed on the fortifications under command of James F. Laulor. Slaves were hired for the project. In September of that year three of the forts were named for Rome area men who had died in the war. On the west bank of the Oostanaula River stood Fort Attaway. On the south bank of the Etowah stood Fort Stovall. On the east bank of the Oostanaula, north of the city, stood Fort Norton.
