This quilt ended up in an estate that my grandfather was executor of. My grandfather donated it to Texas Tech when the heirs of said estate were arguing over it. I have viewed this quilt many times. I have touched this quilt, I have smelled this quilt. I have been taught of its history many times. You're correct that the pelican and the eagle represent the north and the south, you're correct about the dog, you're correct about the man on the horse being William. While I enjoyed your analysis about the confederate flags, and maybe I'm wrong, but whenever we viewed the quilt we were always told that it was not two confederate regiments, it was indeed the north and the south. Again, maybe I'm wrong but that's at least the family history I learned. Thank you for your article, it's nice to see the quilt getting some attention away from our little corner of the Texas panhandle.Brad Robbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-62906537245223185812015-09-20T23:19:21.482-05:002015-09-20T23:19:21.482-05:00As always, great historical information. The quilt...As always, great historical information. The quilt is such a perfect story-teller of its time, all in the subjects the quilter displayed. That's what I love about this type of history- it's all true and is from a person who was an actual eye witness. Now, many years later, we can see and learn from (who would have thought) a quilt.Danice Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756628636993465703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-31559683730907585732015-09-20T08:20:12.849-05:002015-09-20T08:20:12.849-05:00Themis.
