Summary
| Description |
English: Jane Wilkinson was the wife of Dr. James Long who was from Natchez, Mississippi, and when Dr. Long invaded Nacogdoches in June of 1819, in an effort to free Texas from Spain he is said to have brought his wife’s solid red flag with a large five-pointed white star in the middle. It is believed that Jane Long made this flag for her husband just for the invasion to free Texas from Spain. The first James Long invasion of Spanish Texas did not last long, as the Spanish army ran them back into Louisiana. Dr. James Long then took his wife’s red flag with him to New Orleans and made it into the canton of his new flag which also included 13 red and white stripes, in order to attract more Americans to his cause. |
