Mrs. John C. Breckinridge, who was at the headquarters of her husband, most of the time, decided her beautiful "silk dress" she had once worn to a State dinner in Washington,would make a spectacular flag. The completed flag was formerly presented to the 20th Tenn. Regiment. It was exposed to gunfire at Hoover's Gap, Tenn. in June, 1863. Color Bearer, Ben Yeargin died that day, and Wallace Evans and Johnny Fly were wounded. Three more of the Color Bearers were wounded at Chickamagua. Finally at Jonesboro, Georgia, every member of the color guard of "Mrs. Breckinridge's" flag were killed or wounded due to the fire directed at it. Wounded men, not taken prisoner, saw Mrs. Breckinridge heading their way with lint and bandages.
