39th New York Infantry Regiment “Garibaldi Guard” Flag – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

A Banner Honoring the Legacy of the Garibaldi Guard

The 39th New York Infantry Regiment “Garibaldi Guard” Flag – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag celebrates a regiment unlike any other in the Union Army. Formed in New York City in 1861, the 39th included immigrants from Italy, Germany, Hungary, Switzerland, and France. Moreover, many soldiers had once served under Italian patriot Giuseppe Garibaldi, whose ideals inspired their name and spirit. Throughout the conflict, the Garibaldi Guard displayed remarkable courage at Cross Keys, Gettysburg, and Petersburg. Their service proved that freedom’s cause could unite men from across the world.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

This 3′×5′ flag mirrors the Italian tricolor of red, white, and green, honoring the heritage of Garibaldi’s followers. Centered on the white field, the bold black motto “DEO E POPOLO” translates to “God and the People.” Therefore, the design expresses both faith and liberty—the values that bound these immigrant soldiers to their adopted nation. Additionally, the tricolor stands as a symbol of global unity, reflecting how European patriots joined America’s struggle for democracy. Together, its vivid colors and proud inscription link Old World idealism with New World determination.

Expertly Crafted in the United States

A canvas heading with solid brass grommets ensures strength for either indoor or outdoor display.
