It wasn't too long ago that the four "Tarleton" flags, including 3 taken at the Waxhaws was sold for 17 million. The state of SC was authorized to go 6 million for the three, but they weren't even close. |

The one flag that was not from the Waxhaws was from New England, I think, and is the only known example of an original pine tree flag in existance. All the flags are in good condition and were owned by a Tarleton descendent. The bidder was, of course, anonymous. So another piece of history disappears again. |

Maybe, if we all pool our resources, we could have just enough to buy you a 1/10th share in it, Rich. $118,000? Yikes indeed! |
