Title
The United States Flag in the American West: The Evolution of the United States Flags Produced by or for U.S. Government EntitiesDuring the Westward Movement, 1777 – 1876:
Abstract
The government agency that did the most to spread the flag across the western United States in its first century was not the Army, not the Navy, but the Indian Department. Its “presentation flags,” often of a variant design with eagles or coats of arms in their cantons or with alternate star patterns, combine with the military’s standard flags in this article based on many primary sources.
