This replica and the design from which it was made were deposited with the Arkansas Historic Commission (now Arkansas State Archives) by Mrs. Otis Wingo. This design is loosely modelled in that of a flag given to the 1st Company of 106 men formed in the early part of May 1861. They were presented with the flag when they were stopped for ceremonies in Paraclifta, Arkansas. They were then informed that the Federal had evacuated the fort; they were then ordered to Ft. Walker in the border between Benton County and the Cherokee Nation, but were soon on the march to fight in Missouri. The pattern was essentially the same, except that the original had a bowie knife rather than the sword.
