33 Star U.S. Garrison Flag - Handmade.
Oregon's entry into the Union on February 14th, 1859 prompted a rapid obsolescence of the 32-star flag adopted the year before to honor Minnesota. On July 4th, 1859, the 33-star flag became official becoming the first of four star counts (33-36) that flew throughout the Civil War.
