Jane Long Flag – 3×5 ft Cotton Sewn Embroidered Texas Independence Replica
First “Lone Star” Flag of Texas – Inspired by Jane Long, the Mother of Texas
This 3×5 ft cotton sewn flag honors the legacy of Jane Long, often called the “Mother of Texas”, and her pivotal role in early Texas independence. In 1818, Jane, at just 20 years old, sewed a red flag featuring a single white star — the first documented use of the Lone Star that would later define the Texas identity.
Her husband, Dr. James Long, led an armed expedition of 300 men into Spanish-controlled Texas with the aim of freeing it from colonial rule. Jane’s handmade flag accompanied this campaign, flying over the captured town of Nacogdoches, which was declared the first capital of the short-lived Republic of Texas.
This flag predates and influences all later Lone Star designs — making it one of the most historically important Texas flags ever created.

Used from 1861 to 1863. This flag was first flown over the Montgomery, Alabama, capitol building on March 4, 1861. It was chosen from hundreds of designs submitted to the provisional Confederate Government and then voted on by the Provisional Confederate Congress.
At first, the flag had 7 stars, one for each member of the new Confederacy. Later, more stars were added as new states left the United States to join the Confederacy.
The flag was eventually changed because many people felt it looked too much like the Union flag. Some also believe that on a busy and smoky battlefield, the flag was easily confused with the Union flag, which may have led soldiers to follow the wrong flag during battle.
