While working on my web site, The Civil War in South Carolina, I came across a
newspaper article which appeared in the Charleston Mercury, November 16, 1860
describing a number of the flags which were appearing around the city.

Several of the flags contained latin phrases.  If you can help with
translation, please drop me a note.


The Eagle Fire Company Flag 

Semper Parati

Mr. G. F. Marchant's Flag

Dieu et Mon Droit

Thanks for your help.  

The Civil War in South Carolina is located at

http://www.researchonline.net/sccw

and now has about 20 new pages on the various flags used by the confederacy.

Enjoy!
