This is believed to be the original 'Big Red,' the flag flown on Jan. 9, 1861, when Citadel cadets fired on the Star of the West. Source: The (Charleston) Post and Courier

I’m sure micro pollen studies can verify that the flag flew in the Carleston area at one time. The flag has the look of something authentic of the times!

But, knowing my southern friends, they probably would...
