Description
On one of the white stripes of the large flag, the group that made the quilt identified itself. Written on the stripe is "U. S. G. Society." The initials may stand for "Ulysses S. Grant," who had been named lieutenant general of the U.S. Army a few months earlier. The rarely used rank made Grant commander of all Union forces.
The "U.S.G. Society" was the organization name used by the young women of the Branch Aid Society when they made the quilt.
