My recreation of the Gillis flag, I made the blue darker than the original which I believe to be faded.







On July 4, 1861, during Independence Day celebrations in Sacramento, Democrat and veteran, Maj. J. P. Gillis celebrated the independence of the United States from Britain and the secession of the Confederacy by unfurling a flag based on the Stars and Bars, but containing seventeen stars, and marching down the street to the cheers.
