Glazed cotton muslin, 11 x 17 in., printed flag with 40 stars arranged in 7/6/7/7/6/7 horizontal rows, with the following overprint: Everett Peabody Post No. 108, G.A.R. Georgetown, Mass. Ca 1889.
Col. Everett Peabody commanded a brigade on the western flank of Grant's Army at the Battle of Shiloh. He became an unsung hero when, acting on his own, he sent a reconnaissance force to strengthen the Union position ordering his men to hold their ground if the enemy were encountered. When the Confederates attacked, Peabody and the rest of the brigade joined the battle. He was mortally wounded, but his action surprised the enemy and eventually led to their surrender.
A Harvard graduate, Everett Peabody is among 136 alumni who gave their lives and are so honored in Harvard's Memorial Hall.
Documented in the book, The Stars and Stripes: Fabric of the American Spirit, J. Richard Pierce, LLC (p.44). Displayed in five exhibitions.
