San Jacinto Banner - April 21, 1836 - Fine Art Print

The Flag of San Jacinto San Jacinto Banner - The battle flag of the Newport Rifles, commanded by Col. Sidney Sherman. Lady Liberty painted on a silk banner. Sherman's men, moving swiftly through the woods on the left flank were the first to make contact with the enemy at the Battle of San Jacinto, taking General Cos’ command by surprise. Sherman, leading the way, was the first to shout, “Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!” The remnants of the original banner hang in the Capitol behind the Speaker's podium when the House is in session. A replica hangs there at all other times.   Physical Details 24 by 18 inches Limited Edition of 254 Copies Each one is hand-numbered This is a high quality giclee print.   The paper is acid free, cold press cotton watercolor with an elegant ever-so-lightly-textured finish.
