One of the most interesting and exciting documentary productions ever undertaken by Witnessing History, LLC is in pre-production now. The fifty-six minute production will chronicle the history of the design and creation of a flag that became the prototype for all of the St. Andrews Cross battle flags carried by Confederate armed forces. The hand-stitched silk flag with gold painted stars was borne by the Fifth Company of the Washington Artillery of New Orleans through the Battles of Shiloh and Perryville. The story of the flag’s creation will surprise and delight viewers everywhere. A collection of photographic images of the officers and men of the Fifth Company, along with a rich collection of documents, are being assembled now. Scenes will be filmed at the Manassas Battlefield; Fairfax Courthouse and Richmond, Virginia; New Orleans, Louisiana; the Shiloh and Perryville Battlefields and Mobile, Alabama. The Executive Producer of the documentary is Lon W. Keim, M.D. of Omaha, Nebraska.
