The New York State Battle Flag Collection
includes 5 printed wool camp colors carried by the 20th Regiment U.S.
Colored Troops. Each camp color is in the U.S. national pattern as prescribed
in General Order No. 4, Headquarters of the U.S. Army, dated 18 January
1862. All five camp colors include: 34 white stars in 5 horizontal rows
(7-7-6-7-7) with the center row of 6 stars indented, the hoist edge
folded over to create a sleeve for attachment to the staff, and a narrow
machine-stitched hem along the fly. |
