This flag is owned by the emeritus patriarch of the LDS Church, having been passed down to him. The flag is reputed to have been with the Mormon Battalion when it was in California in 1846-47. It is also reputed that he Bear was added to the flag while it was in California with that Battalion. If that is proven true, this flag may be the oldest, still existing California Bear Flag dating from the 1846-47 time frame.
