Flag for the Rangers

Dallas Herald
April 6, 1865
p. 1, c. 3

We received yesterday through the kind attention of our friend Capt. LaBlache, the flag ordered by us some time since for the Rangers, and it is certainly the finest flag we ever saw. It is a battle flag 48 inches square, of heavy red flag silk, having the blue bars of the same material six inches wide. The white border of the bars and the stars are heavy silver embroidery, and the flag has a heavy silver fringe all around it. It is indeed the best flag that could be made, and will prove a gift worthy the noble regiment for which it is intended. The cost of the flag was one hundred and fifty dollars in Havana. Capt. LaBlache kindly purchased and brought it in without further charge.—Houston Telegraph.
