 was one such flag in the city. and but one, to be found. Until that day, in the intensity Of
 feeling which war creates. 1t would have peen cen the destruction of the flag and possibly or, lts owner had its whereabouts been knowp. That
 man was Captain Driver %ho q, lost no Sod 5f fur, IT. nish him escort as protection he would pro, Sm SnGe by den friend5 Afne iR old Salem to fly from his

 day or one of his own birthdays had passed
 since Captain Driver came to NASHVILLE .Dut ttt
 that old Bag had foated from his house. until
 strong that Old Glory could no longer De dls-.
 ayedb roygb w1a danra with it the Captain would not; so he sewed it within. the com
 forter of his bed. where not even the mem Ins bers knew of it's whereabouts. In vain dld
 the neighbors inquire for and even search the house for 1t. With eager hands on that day lp
 February did Captain Driver tear. open the
 comforter. and taking the flag from its place of concealment display 1t to the soldiers form
 ing his escort who greeted 1t with three tines F three and three more for the loyal captain. To
 the Capitol marched the captain with his es- eort. bearing the sacred flag. He asked per
 mission of the colonel of the regiment to raise it with his own hands. He then climbed out on the dome of the Capitol risking the danger or a shot and flung Old Glory to the breeze amid the cheers of the troops and the friends or the Union. When the flag was returned to the captain he prized 1t than ever for it had served not only himself his ship. but his country. In 1882 after cutting out pieces of 1t for members i of his family he presented it to Mrs. Harriet ] Ruth Cooke, who compiled the history of the
 Driver family with instructions to make such after his death. Mrs. Cooke accordingly pre- | sented '+ to the Essex Institute of Salem where any one may. inspect It.
