This flag was most likely the one JWB caught his spur in...The TD Presentation flag was hung to Lincoln’s left...The third TD flag was the National which was probably draped across the balustrade in front of the Lincoln’s and could also have caught Booth’s spur.

Great info, Rich! May I ask - why did Henry Clay Ford in his testimony repeatedly speak of one flag (the Treasury Regimental Flag) he got from a gentleman from the Treasury Department (not three)?
