Mr. Cornwell: I am a great fan of your writing. I began with The Starbuck Chronicles and have read many other titles since. I do have one historical question. I believe it is in Copperhead, a confederate soldier is discussing how his regiment captured the flag of a New Jersey Regiment, that was black with a silver snake on it. Was this a real flag,and if so what regiment did it belong to? Being from New Jersey myself and being unable to find information elsewhere, I was wondering if you could shed some light on my question. Respectfully Joseph C. Valicenti
