Dodson’s Lone Star Flag (Texas Revolution)

"Dodson’s Lone Star Flag – Washington-on-the-Brazos"

Texas’s first lone star flag, the Dodson Flag, was made by Sarah Dodson in September 1835 for the Harrisburg militia company, where her husband served as first lieutenant. Lt. Dodson later wrote that “the single star was like Texas, alone in her opposition to the autocratic government that had been established in Mexico.”

When the Harrisburg militia company arrived in Gonzales shortly after the battle, Stephen F. Austin worried that the flag was too revolutionary, and he asked that it not be flown in case the government commander at Bexar saw it and thought it was treasonous. However, he later relented, and the company marched to Bexar under their flag. In March 1836, it was one of two flags that flew over Independence Hall when the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed. (©thc.texas.gov)
