Peter Ansoff The Flag on Prospect Hill: A Response to Byron DeLear
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
This paper covers the ongoing debate between the author and Mr. Byron DeLear with respect to which flag flew on Prospect Hill, outside Boston, on 1 January 1776. The question of whether it was the “Continental Colors” or a pre-1801 Union Flag and DeLear’s views on the matter lead the author to examine both arguments and new or previously-research documentation to determine if any updates need to be made to his original conclusions.

abstract | view |  rights & permissions
This paper examines the creation of patriotic memories of Canadian flags—in particular, the Canadian Red Ensign—among British Canadians through the lens of Dominion Day, challenging the legalistic view of flag adoption in favor of a vernacular view that national flags may be created, adopted, and sanctioned by those using a flag for that purpose and that flag is as much a national flag as any adopted by statute or regulation.
