American Revolution: Continental Flags

Made a trip to Fraunces Tavern today, where Washington bid farewell to his officers. They have a flag room with replicas of various flags. Here are the regimental ones.






A few days before he bid the officers farewell, there was a dinner in his honor with the officers present. They made 31 toasts. 79 bottles of Madeira and 30 of port were emptied. Some 14 shillings of wine glasses were broken. Fraunces Tavern Musuem is worth the visit. And afterwards, one can head downstairs to the tavern proper for a meal and a pint.
