However, further research in this subject has proven to be a very confusing task to figure out just what happened between the boys of the 149th Pa Color Guard, and the confederate skirmish party composed of various confederate regiments.
As I pursued the matter further and deeper into several different accounts and reports written by those who actually witnessed the struggle, or atleast said they did, i�ve found that nearly every account accessible conflicts with each other.
Who is really creditable in the capture of the 149th Pennsylvania�s colors? Certainly the boys from Brigadier General Joseph R. Davis� Brigade believe that a Sergeant from the 42nd Mississippi was the one. Or could it be possible that a young boy from Colonel John Brockenbrough�s Virginians was the captor of one of the 149th�s Colors? The most questionable of them all, were the 149th�s Colors recaptured by their sister regiment, the 150th Pennsylvania Volunteers?
