In 1889, four territories were raised to statehood in quick succession. North and South Dakota came in on November 2, Montana on the 8th, and Washington on the 11th. The new stars the states represented were to be officially added to the 38 star constellation on July 4, 1890, but the day before Idaho was added, and then six days later Wyoming also joined the Union. During this period, flags with varying numbers of stars were flown. This thirty-nine star flag represents North Dakota. (Mastai)

Description:
Wool machine sewn reproduction Bunker Hill flag; red field with a white canton bearing a green block-printed pine tree.
Object Number:
INV.11423a
Gallery Label:
No original flag survives from the Revolutionary battle of Bunker Hill. This reproduction of the John Trumbull version, after his painting of 1785-6, is based on the Massachussetts ensign. Although, it has been debated whether there was a flag flown on the hill at all. Current historians do not believe there was one, but Trumbull himself witnessed the battle, so it is possible that a flag of this type was flown or carried by a Massachussetts regiment.
