This pattern flag with the May 20, 1775 date of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence and the May 20, 1861 date of secession would serve as the official North Carolina flag until the adoption of the current state flag in 1885. Shortly after June 22 locally produced examples, along with stylized variations of the official flag, appeared at both the company and regimental level.

We had a regimental flag, a beautiful silken banner, on which the sister of Colonel Fisher had beautifully embroidered the coat-of-arms of North Carolina and presented it to the regiment at its organization. It was highly prized; it waved over the regiment at the capture of Rickett’s Battery at First Manassas, and over Rickett’s Battery and Weidrick’s Battery on Cemetery Heights at Gettysburg, July 2d, 1863. It was not always used in battle, especially after battle flags had been distributed to the army. It was generally brought out on parades and general reviews; but it was not displayed at Appomattox. It was carefully preserved and brought to North Carolina. It is the same that was shown at the laying of the corner-stone at the Confederate Monument at Raleigh, May 20, 1894.

It is not known who made this ornate silk flag for the 4th Regiment North Carolina Volunteers (14th Regiment North Carolina Troops). It was apparently made shortly after the regiment was organized on June 6, 1861. The Raleigh Standard on July 10 contained the following information is a small column.

On May 20, 1861, a state convention meeting in Raleigh dissolved North Carolina’s association with the United States. That same day the convention established a committee to investigate the design for an official state flag with Colonel John D. Whitford as chairman. On June 22, 1861, the following ordinance was ratified by members of the convention:

FLAG BRITISH COLUMBIA 6' X 3' SLEEVED.

A brief history of the flag is noted in Volume I, Histories of the Several Regiments and Battalions from North Carolina in the Great War 1861-1865, edited by Walter Clark and published by the State of North Carolina in 1901.

Although the newspaper description does not match exactly, there can be little doubt this is the flag described, since Seaton E. Gales was appointed adjutant of this regiment in June 1861. This flag was captured at Sharpsburg (Antietam) on September 17, 1862, by Corporal George Nettleton, Company G, 5th New Hampshire Volunteers, during a desperate struggle between the two regiments in the infamous “Bloody Lane.” Two hundred and thirteen members of the 14th North Carolina were listed as dead, wounded, or missing at the end of the day. Following the battle, the flag was sent to New Hampshire by the 5th New Hampshire commander, Colonel Edward E. Cross. In 1914, Cross returned the captured banner to the State of North Carolina.

Other than the 1st Regiment North Carolina Volunteers (the “Bethel Regiment”), none of the remaining thirteen volunteer regiments (subsequently renumbered as the 11th through the 24th Regiments North Carolina Troops) received official state flags. Subsequent issue of state flags began with the 25th Regiment North Carolina Troops and continued through at least the 61st Regiment.

Following its official adoption, North Carolina Quartermaster-General Lawrence O’Bryan Branch investigated the purchase of silk flags for North Carolina regiments from sources in both South Carolina and Virginia. In August 1861 he ordered the purchase of state flags for the first ten regiments of North Carolina State Troops who had enlisted for three years or the duration of the war. At the time, however, he declined to order flags for the fourteen regiments of North Carolina Volunteers whose enlistments ran from only six to twelve months. These ten silk flags were ordered through an agent in Portsmouth, Virginia from J.W. Belote of Norfolk at a cost of $50.00 per flag. Later, Branch ordered one more silk flag for the 1st Regiment North Carolina Volunteers (the “Bethel Regiment”) with the battle honor of “Bethel” inscribed on the flag. Only three of the original silk issue state flags exist today. These elaborate two-sided flags did not precisely follow the prescribed state pattern. Subsequent state issued flags were made of wool bunting at the Raleigh Clothing Depot and these followed the 1861 flag ordinance pattern and usually carried regimental designations.

William J. Hoke was elected colonel of the 38th Regiment North Carolina Troops when it was formed on January 17, 1862. Hoke was wounded at Mechanicsville, Virginia on June 26, 1862, and again at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on July 1, 1863. Because of his wounds he was retired to the Invalid Corps on June 18, 1864. At some point during or after the war this flag was given to Colonel Hoke. His family donated it to the North Carolina Museum of History in 1923.
