Mansfield, is our Great Grandfather. I am very honored to know of this man's part in one of the greatest battles ever fought. May we always remember and never forget the many lives, both Confederate and Union, that were lost in the course of this battle. And we never forget the many lives that continue to give of themselves every day serving in our military today. May God always bless and keep us safe as a nation, fighting together for freedom.

Malmo, III Mon, 05 Sep 2011 03:38:46 +0000 http://www.historynet.com/?p=13681293#comment-733686 Folks, I would like to learn more about 26th NC. My sisters have verified our great, great, great uncle was sgt. Major L. L. Polk later to be Col. L. L. Polk founder of " State College" later NC State and also Meredith College. My son and I spent several days at Gettysburg this summer. He had taken "Battlefield History" at Washington & Lee University tis spring and was inspired. The battle field is spectacular! The new museum, visitor center s well worth the trip! The rangers ignorant and misinformed! Meanwhile, we working on trying to reestablish ties to many othe relatives through the Yates, Yokley, Horton and beard sides of the family. In the process, I would like to find a good replica in cotton of the 26th flag. One for me to fly in Winston-Salem and one for my son to fly in Lexington,VA. Earlier this weekend the "souther cross" was banned in Lexington on public property!!! This is censorship!!!!!!!! I welcome your help and encouragement! Many thanks and I am not some kind of fanatic!

One of my distant relatives, Pvt. Thomas Jefferson Cozart, may have been the last 26th flag bearer to lose his life, and his flag -- THAT flag? -- during Pickett's Charge. One set of records says he was killed within 20 feet of The Angle. Another history of that battle states an unnamed flag bearer was killed close to the rock wall at The Angle, and two other Rebs, probably of the 26th, picked up the fallen flag and leaned it against the rock wall, where they were invited by the Yank defenders to "Come on over to meet the Lord." They surrendered. Thus that flag, and probably others, was captured at The Angle at Gettysburg on July 3, the day before Thomas Jefferson Cozart's 22nd birthday. I wonder -- is "your" 26th Gettysburg flag the one my brave relative gave his life to carry in battle? Take good care of it, please.
