I believe they just recently, like within the past 6 or so years, made the exhibits more akin to something you would see at a Smithsonian museum since before they were more like very small exhibits. I went and saw it all because I created the 2019 Maryland Preservation Award video for their work on refurbishing the WWI mural above the main entrance.

    Next time I go, I'll get better pics of everything and can send them to you. Most of my pics were crap since we had to hurry because we had another interview that day at the Walters Art Museum.

    The Captain of Company I 13th NC; R.S. Williams wrote in the regiments history following the war:



    “We moved down on them on the right of the road. Charge after charge was made. We drove the enemy back some two miles. We were kept in until our boys had exhausted their sixty rounds, or some had, and during that time a goodly number of the Thirteenth had gone down to rise no more. That was the first day’s battle with Grant and Lee. The next morning, not long after daylight, supposing Lane’s North Carolina and Thomas’ Georgia brigades were still in our front, we were lying behind some old logs and such we could pick up. General Scales and our Colonel Hyman were standing behind our company talking when one of the sergeants called to me and said : Look In Front ! I looked and the woods were blue with the enemy ! I turned to the Colonel and General Scales to tell them. The enemy were coming closer behind us. I told them to look; we were about surrounded. General Scales waved his sword above his head and called on the men to follow him. He dashed off at right angles and took his brigade out by the right flank. They opened fire on us and a goodly number were wounded.”

    It was during this time the regiment’s flag was captured. Private Grief Mason of Davie County, NC and Company F, refused to surrender the flag to Sergeant Steven Rought, Company A, 141st PA. Infantry. Rought crushed Mason’s skull with the butt of his rifle, and took his trophy amid the cheers of his comrades.

    This thread is great! I found it looking for examples of flags that seem to be spread out around the 'net and its great to see so many in one place! I have flags reproduced if anyone is looking for a particular one.
