Sumter
day was celebrated
this morning at sunrise by the raising of a flag at the battery by the Anderson
Zouaves. On April 14, 1861, Major Robert Anderson retired from Fort Sumter,
Charlestone harbour, taking his battle flag with him. On April 14, 1865, he
returned, raising it again. The Anderson Zouaves were named for him, and some
years ago the family of the Major presented the company with a flag. It is
raised annually on Sumter day. Chicago Tribune, April
15, 1896, p.4. Anderson
Zouaves
