American Civil War
TWENTIETH REGIMENT INFANTRY
Soon after the 20th took the field the ladies of Jackson gave it an elegant silk flag, on which was inscribed the State arms. The flag was sent to the regiment at Washington, but only reached it at the encampment opposite Fredericksburg. The presentation occurred on Thanksgiving day, 1802, in a patriotic address by Mrs. Governor Blair, read by Assistant Surgeon 0. P. Chubb, and an elegant response was made by Major Byron M. Cutcheon for the regiment.
