Colors of the Dixie Boys Lost at Vicks
burg are Found.
Rev. Alex W. Bealer 1ms received a
letter that will bring glad tidings to the
few surviving “Dixie Boys.” This com
pany was one of the famous ones that
entered the Confederate service from
Thomas county. A few of the gallant
command still survive and their annual
reunion at Boston is one of the events of
the year. The letter follows:
Wrightsville, Ga., April 26,1904.
Dear Brother Bealer:—Today I found
something that may interest the Vete
rans of yonr section. The camp of Vet-;
erans here had in the parade an old rag
ged Confederate Hag, torn by shells and
ent by ballots, the result of the soige of
Vicksburg. I found out the history of
the flag, which is as follows:
It was the company flag of the “Dixie
Boys’’ of Thomasville, and when the
57th. Georgia Regiment was organized
the colors of the “Dixio Boys was
lected as the regimental colors. ThiB
regiment was at Vicksburg when Grant
captnrecj the place. At that time
“Luce'’ Tucker was the captain. Sence
Guyton was , the Colonel of the
regiment. When the men found that
the place was surrendered, ;the arms
stacked, etc., one man determined to
save the colors. This was E. R. Under
wood, now living near here, in Johnsou
county. He stole the flag wrapped it
round his body under his clothing and
brought it home, and today I saw it and
learned its history. The men handle
the old ragged flag as tenderly as if it
were a new born baby.
Perhaps some of the ' Dixie Boys”
are alive, living in or near Thomasville
who would like to know that their old
company colors never fell iutotho hands
of the Yankees, and are still in the
Imuds of one of 57th Ga. and that the
i that saved them at Vicksburg is
yet in the laud of the living.
On the flag is painted, “Dixio Boys”
August 18(11 the day of mouth being
shot out; also ‘ Victory or Death.” Mr.
Underwood knows nothing about tho
history of the flag previous to the regi
mental formation, but it.no doubt was
presented by some Southern woman as
was customary. Geo. A. Blount.
Au effort was made yesterday to see
au old Dixie Boy but none could be
found, of any additions can be made
to Mr. Blount’s history of the flag Hhe
Times-Enterprise will tako pleasure in
publishing them.
In this connection it will be au inter
sting addition to the story to know that
the old battle flag exhibited here on last
Memorial Day by Captain Triplett wbb
saved from Vicksbutg in exactly the
same May. The Captain had one of liis
men to wear it out under his clothes,
and he was until recently of the opin
ion that it was the only flag saved from
the Yankees.
