America & U.S. City T-Shirts Cactus "America IV" Patriotic Khaki Ladies T-Shirt
We love this patriotic shirt! This Cactus "America IV" design highlights the famous military fife and drum players and the American flag. A fife is a small flute that has a loud and shrill tone which some say could be heard up to three miles on the battlefield. The fife and drum players were responsible for conveying orders or combat signals in battle making them a very important (although little known) component of the American military.
The fife originated in Switzerland in the 14th century and it became very popular during the Civil War in America's colonial period. Now, how is that for trivia?
