Old Glory 
Katelyn Watters & Mya Lockwood
What is Old Glory? 
Old Glory is an american flag with 24 stars.
Old Glory’s Backstory 
Captain William Driver was a 
shipmaster in Salem Massachusetts. 
He was preparing to leave on a 
voyage aboard the Charles Doggett, 
when his friends gifted him with a 
flag of twenty four stars. As the flag 
rustled in the wind for the first time 
he shouted “Old Glory!” Then the 
name stuck.
Driver’s Retirement to Nashville 
Driver retired to Nashville in 
1837, taking the flag from his days 
at sea with him. By the time the 
Civil war began, almost everyone in 
Nashville knew of Old Glory. When 
Tennessee seceded from the US, 
southern rebels were determined to 
destroy his flag, but searchers could 
not find the flag anywhere. 
Driver’s Home.
The Flag Rises Again 
On February 25, 1862 the Union 
stormed into Nashville and gained 
control. Soldiers marched Driver to 
his house, the Captain finally felt 
safe enough to pull the flag from 
hiding. He grabbed his bed cover 
and began ripping at the seams, Old 
Glory had been inside his quilt the 
whole time. Even in his old age, 
Captain Driver climbed the tower 
and raised the beloved flag. 
Old Glory in the quilt.
Old Glory Today 
In January 1923, Old Glory was 
donated to the Smithsonian 
Institution by William Driver’s 
granddaughter or niece. The old 
flag is still there today. Here is one 
display on the right.
