A Banner of Confederate Valor in the Western Theater

The Beauregard Pattern Battle Flag – Western Theater / Army of Tennessee Edition (c. 1862–1863) – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag honors one of the most enduring designs of the Confederacy. Originating under General P. G. T. Beauregard’s leadership, this flag pattern emerged after the First Battle of Manassas to eliminate confusion between Confederate and Union colors. Soon, its bold diagonal cross became the defining symbol of the Confederate Army.

This rectangular version reflects the flag adopted by General Braxton Bragg’s Army of Tennessee, a formation that carried the Beauregard design through some of the war’s fiercest engagements—Shiloh, Perryville, Stones River, Chickamauga, and Missionary Ridge. Through these campaigns, the flag came to embody the courage and endurance of the Western Confederate soldiers who fought beneath it.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

This historically faithful 4′×6′ reproduction features the classic St. Andrew’s blue saltire bearing thirteen white stars upon a crimson-red field, each star representing the Confederate states, including the border states of Kentucky and Missouri. Surrounding the field is a lighter rose-red border, authentically replicating the dye variations seen on many original Army of Tennessee battle flags from 1862–1863.

The rectangular proportion differentiates it from the square versions used by the Army of Northern Virginia, marking it as the true field standard of the Western Theater. Moreover, the broad white edging enhances visibility on the battlefield, a design innovation that General Beauregard first envisioned. As a result, this flag blends artistry, clarity, and historical accuracy into a timeless reproduction.
