When he opened it he found a flag made from fine wool contributed by his friends. Every stitch had been worked by his mother. The young man exclaimed, "Why Its the most glorious flag I've ever seen!" And that's what I'll call her, "Old Glory." This "Old Olory" sailed with Driver around the world. It was holisted by him to the top of the Tennessee Capitol when the Union troops marched victori ously Into Nashville Feb. 25, 1862. Before he died In )888, he gave the flag to a daughter and today Capt.
