William Driver, a Massachusetts sea captain who retired from the ocean and set- tled in Nashviile, Tenn. shortly be- fore tho civil war, When that con- flict broke out Capt. Driver displayed @ flag, one which he had floated over his ship during his seafaring days. As it fluttered in the breeze Capt, Driver exclaimed, “There goes Old Glory!" It was his pet name for the flag, and it was soon taken up all over the Northern Staten, and is now pop- ularly used throughout a reunited na- tion.
