“And Taft Just Laft” Invitation to CS Veteran’s Reunion

Item Details

Description

Whimsical Invitation to a United Confederate Veterans event in Chattanooga, Tennessee that features a caracature of then former president William H. Taft on the cover. The drawing is notated "And Taft Just Laft." Interestingly, the date of the event is listed as only a week after Taft became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Taft was generally seen as friendly to Confederate veteran interests; as Secretary of War he authorized the construction of a Confederate monument at Arlington Cemetery.
