An excellent condition Confederate veterans’ ribbon for a member of the Maryland contingent at the dedication of Stonewall Jackson’s statue by Edward Valentine in the city cemetery in Lexington on July 21, 1891, the thirtieth anniversary of First Bull Run and Jackson’s acquisition of his nickname. It attracted quite a bit of media coverage with Mrs. Jackson and Jackson’s granddaughter in attendance, parades, salutes, and addresses by General Jubal Early among others.

The badge consists of a Pansy or Heart’s-Ease flower at top, with two ribbons suspended underneath, both with gold lettering. One is black, and reads: “SOCIETY / ARMY AND NAVY / OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES / IN MARYLAND.” The other is yellow and reads, “UNVEILING / JACKSON’S STATUE / LEXINGTON, VA., / July 21, 1891. The black and gold colors of the ribbons are clearly the Maryland state colors. The use of the pansy is appropriate since the flower can symbolize love, affection, and remembrance of someone who has passed on, just as “heart’s ease” may suggest consolation.

The ribbon is in excellent condition. The yellow ribbon bears the red oval stamp of the Cisco Brothers, who ran the Baltimore Regalia Emporium, specializing in banners, flags, and all sorts of regalia for various societies.  [sr][ph:m]
