Authentic Design and Symbolism

This reproduction features a swallowtail guidon design with a bold red cross bottony centered on a white field, all surrounded by a red border. The cross bottony, derived from the Crossland arms of Maryland’s colonial heritage, symbolized courage, faith, and state identity.

Its use on Johnson’s personal headquarters flag reflected Maryland pride within Confederate service, marking his presence on the field and rallying his men during the Shenandoah Valley campaigns of 1864. The swallowtail form—narrower than a battle flag—signified command authority and was typical for general officers’ personal standards.

Through this distinctive design, the flag embodies both personal leadership and state allegiance, uniting heraldic tradition with military symbolism.
