The Indiana Flag: Who Really Designed It?

By David B. Reddick

Book Overview

Hoosier schoolchildren learn that Paul Hadley of Mooresville designed the state flag in 1917 and won a $100 prize from the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) for his efforts. But, is that what really happened?
The Indiana Flag: Who Really Designed It? chronicles the DAR's four-year campaign to persuade lawmakers to adopt a unique state flag. It details how two other flags - one designed by a Civil War veteran from Richmond, Indiana, in 1914 and one created by a New York-based pageant director in 1916 both played a pivotal role in Hadley's ultimate design.
The book also reveals the previously untold story of an 1885 state flag created for the dedication of the Washington Monument and of a law enacted in 1901 to make "Old Glory" the official state flag of Indiana.
