Burnet Texas Republic Flag / Texas Rose Flag
Size 3×5 feet
The Burnet Texas Republic Flag was used during the American-Spanish War. Suggested by the first president of the Texan Republic, this flag was meant to show Texas’s unity and independence with the lone star, a symbol used to this day. It was the official flag of Texas for three years, 1836-1839. President Burnet suggested the design in a letter to the Republic of Texas Congress. The first Congress met in Columbia, Texas beginning on October 3, 1836 at a small house (when these delegates signed the Texas Declaration of Independence, they were signing their own death warrants if they were ever captured by Santa Anna.) It was in this house that a resolution was passed on December 10, 1836, to adopt a “National Standard” consisting of a blue flag with a single gold star in its center. The bill was signed by the newly elected President of the Republic of Texas, Sam Houston. This was the official flag of the Republic of Texas from December 10, 1836 until January 25, 1839 when the current State of Texas flag was adopted as the Republic of Texas flag.
This flag was almost certainly inspired by the flag of the West Florida Republic of 1810, now known as the Bonnie Blue Flag. The Republic of West Florida spread across the lower parts of Alabama, Mississippi and that part of Louisiana above New Orleans. The capitol was in Baton Rouge, and the Spanish governor was overthrown by a band of English speaking settlers that fought under a blue flag with a single white star. The Republic was short lived, becoming part of the United States, but their flag lived on in the minds of many. David Burnet lived in Natchitoches, Louisiana, in 1813, before he moved to Texas and later became the first President of the Texas Republic.
Emily D. West (c.1815–1891), also known as Emily Morgan, is a folk heroine whose legendary activities during the Texas Revolution have come to be identified with the song “The Yellow Rose of Texas” and this flag is flown in remembrance by many.

Custer Cavalry Guidon Flag – Union Army 3×5 ft Cotton Sewn Civil War Replica
Personal Battle Flag of General George A. Custer – Handmade by Elizabeth Custer
This Custer Cavalry Flag is a historically accurate reproduction of the personal battle guidon carried by General George Armstrong Custer, one of the most renowned and controversial figures in American military history. This 3×5 ft cotton-sewn flag is modeled after the original, hand-stitched by Custer’s wife, Elizabeth “Libbie” Custer, during the final days of the Civil War.
The flag was famously delivered on horseback and first unfurled in battle at Dinwiddie Court House on March 31, 1865. Custer carried it the very next day during his daring charge over Pickett’s breastworks. He continued to use the flag or replicas of it throughout his military campaigns — including his final days at the Battle of the Little Bighorn.
Today, the original flag crafted by Libbie still survives as a powerful symbol of loyalty, leadership, and Civil War history.
