2nd Minnesota regimental battle flag
|
| Description | The regimental battle flag of the 2nd Minnesota Infantry with cord and tassels. The flag consists of one layer of blue silk with the Federal seal consisting of a large eagle with a pink ribbon with a gold outline in its beak painted in the center. The ribbon is inscribed with the motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM." Beneath the eagle is a red ribbon that presumably contains the regiment's identification. The flag is bordered on three sides by gold fringe. This flag was possibly used by the regiment during Sherman's March to the Sea. See the staff, 2007.84.2.B. |
