	Boyhood Memories of the Civil War by Ernest N. Roupe, 1935
		I recall very plainly the battle of Lone Jack, not that I could hear it for the wind was wrong, but we saw the Hotel building burning and soon learned of the battle, but my father, John Roupe, and brother Will and I went to the battle field the next day.
		It has been said this battle of Lone Jack, Mo. Was on of the most savagely fought of any battle of the Civil War, for the numbers engaged, as about one third of all engaged were killed or wounded.
		In the late summer of 1863, Father and I had been to the mill at Lone Jack, but were unable to get our corn ground that day.

		When Jack Wilton recounts the battle of Munster, for example, he unabashedly tells us that he fought for the Anabaptists, at least right up until the fighting started.

	Ship Modeling FAQ, Question 038 --- Revised: January 22, 2001
		When ensigns and jacks were worn that were built proportional to one of the major dimensions of their own ship, the flag would not be lost in profile against any ship nor would the flags overpower the ship either visually or because of wind loading.
		If there was no separate canton on an ensign, the jack being worn -- as measured in historic images -- was one-half the hoist and fly dimensions of the largest ensign currently worn, which resulted in the jack being one-fourth the square footage of the ensign.
		Not only was the color of the ensign important but also the configuration of the canton (the union flag design in the ensign's upper left quadrant).
