I have that flag and fly from time to time, but I’ve always thought it was called the Bonnie Blue Flag as it’s referred to in the song “We Are a Band of Brothers”, an 1861 marching song associated with the Confederate States of America.
We are a band of brothers, and native to the soil,
Fighting for our liberty with treasure, blood, and toil;
And when our rights were threatened, the cry rose near and far,
Hurrah! for the Bonnie Blue Flag, that bears a single star.
