by The beauty of the Internet is that it allows you to stumble across stuff you’d never expect to find. Tonight, after reading a post on Miguel’s blog, I went looking for a site that had flags of the world. While there, I came across a section labeled “historical flags”.

It is not just a “join or die” flag, it is the Richardson’s Join or Die Flag! How cool is that.
The flag was shown in Edward Richardson’s book Standards and Colors of the American Revolution
