U.S. 39 Star Unofficial Flag.
Sub-collection: U.S. 39 Star FlagsU.S. 39 Star Unofficial Flag..
Officially there never was an official 39 star flag. After Colorado's admission as the 38th state, the flag fabricators assumed that the Dakota Territory would soon follow as the 39th state. However, disputes within Dakota Territory over the location of the capitol thwarted admission to the Union.
