Flag : National Colors.

This flag served as the national colors of the 78th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The flag has thirty-four stars still intact on a blue canton (it appears that one star has been lost due to deterioration). The stars are arranged in a rectilinear pattern (four rows of seven stars and a fifth row of six stars). The flag's thirteen alternating red and white stripes are pieced. The flag has gold fringe on its top, right, and bottom sides.
