Physical Description
General Note
The flag was made from the wedding dress of Governor Albert W. Gilchrist's mother. The side showing consists of heavily embroidered silk, emblazoned with the words "Kilcrease Light Artillery, 1863"; above the emblem, in French, are the words "God and my right." The actual confederate flag is on the reverse side, and is made of the same material.
Accompanying note: "Chief of the Bureau of Historical Museums Jeana Brunson showing 1863 Civil War flag of the Kilcrease Light Artillery to Secretary of State Kurt Browning and Governor Charlie Crist."
