Goliad Battle Flag – Troutman Texas Revolution Flag – 3×5 ft Cotton Sewn
Historic “Liberty or Death” Flag of the Texas Revolution
This Goliad Battle Flag is a faithful reproduction of the legendary Troutman Flag, one of the earliest banners of the Texas Revolution. Designed in 1835 by Joanna Troutman, an 18-year-old patriot from Georgia, this flag was a rallying symbol for Texan independence fighters.
The flag featured a white field, a bold blue five-pointed star, and the words “Liberty or Death” beneath — though some accounts suggest it may have read “Texas and Liberty.” Regardless, the message was unmistakable: freedom at all costs.
The original flag was unfurled over the American Hotel in Velasco, Texas, on January 8, 1836, as a Georgian volunteer battalion arrived to support the Texas cause. It was later lost in battle but remains an enduring icon of Texas heritage.

Washington Headquarters Flag – Outdoor All Weather Super Tough / Heavy Duty Flag
Size: 3×5 feet
Six pointed Stars
This flag was used to signal the presence of the Commander-In-Chief of the Continental Armies, George Washington. It accompanied him, and was displayed near his personal tent or building. The original is believed to be the earliest surviving 13-star American flag. It is unique due to its 6-pointed stars and it appears that it was designed by Washington himself. Washington wore three silver six-pointed stars, and a blue sash across his chest, indicating his status as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army. Five pointed stars were not used until Betsy Ross changed them to make them easier to embroider.
This flag was also the US Navy Union Jack during the revolutionary war.
