Hello, Have a question. In doing my research for Wearing the Gray and the Cahapter on the Missouri State Guard, I read where in Jefferson City, St. Louis, and other Pr0-Southern strongholds the wearing of "Secesssion Cockades" was the fashion. What did these look like? From one contemporary source-- it was made up of red, white, and blue ribbons, others said it was the First CS National Flag on a pin.?
As part of the State Guard impression-pre Wilsons Creek, a cockade would mark you as a fellow Southern supporter and add a dash of color to your para-military civilian appearance.
Thanks
