A large 40-star United States flag, denoting entry of the Dakotas into the Union. As North and South Dakota were added on the same day of 2 November 1889, the U.S. flag immediately jumped from 38 to 40 stars. The 40-star flag, however, was only in effect for six days, as Montana was added on 8 November. Measures 9'7" x 5'10" with the stars measuring approximately 5" each. Body of flag is a coarse linen fabric, with the hoist made of canvas punctuated by four grommets. The canton at upper left is constructed of two 18" pieces of bunting sewn together.
