When on the morning of the 6th of September, the advance of Lee's army, led by the formidable rebel general, 'Stonewall' Jackson, entered Frederick, every Union flag was lowered, and the halliards cut; every store and every dwelling house was closed ; the inhabitants had retreated indoors; the streets were deserted, and, to quote the official report, 'the city wore a church-yard aspect'. But Mrs.
Barbara Frietchie, taking one of the Union flags, went up to the top of her house, opened a garret ...window, and held it forth.
The rebel army marched up the street, saw the flag; the order was given, 'Halt ! Fire !' and a volley was discharged at the win- dow from which it was displayed. The flag-staff was partly broken, so that the flag drooped ; the old lady drew it in, broke off the fragment, and, taking the stump with the flag still attached to it in her hand, stretched herself as far out of the window as she could, held the Stars and Stripes at arm's length waving over the rebels, and cried out in a voice of indignation and sorrow: 'Fire at this old head, then, boys; it is not more venerable than your flag'.
