The Eleventh Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment was recruited primarily from St. Joseph County and mustered in at White Pigeon in late 1861. In late November, the ladies of St. Joseph County presented the regiment with a battle flag. The Three Rivers Reporter noted: "Its entire cost was $78.00. A more tasty stand of colors has not fallen to the hands of many soldiers in the war." This flag is not the Eleventh's original "tasty colors" but rather a replacement probably carried through some of regiment's hardest fighting.
