I am looking for some history on a solid light blue flag that says "LIBERTY" in white lettering. It is carved in wood at the Washington Cathedral in PA.
I guess I just want to know when, why, how it was used. Thanks. |

Quoted:
Moultrie Flag? YES...who flew it? "On Sept. 13, 1775, Colonel Moultrie received an order to take Fort Johnson, South Carolina. He had this flag made, for the troops wore a silver crescent on the caps inscribed 'Liberty or Death.' 'This was the first American flag displayed in the South,' he said. On June 28, 1776, the crescent flag, with LIBERTY across it, was raised at his defense of Sullivan's Island, later Fort Moultrie." |

It's the Fort Moultrie Flag.
