Courtesy of The Kentucky Historical Society, here is an image of the flag of the 7th Kentucky Veteran Volunteer Infantry, the unit of which my g-g-g grandfather Nimrod McIntosh was a member, though he became ill at Young's Point Louisiana in early 1863 and transferred to the Veterans Reserve Corp in Indianapolis.
I am currently reading through his pension records and trying to transcribe as many of them as possible. He claimed he developed a cold at Louisiana and that it settled in his lower back, preventing him from resuming his work as a farmer in the post-war years.
Here is a link to the unit history of the 7th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry as well.
