Item Details
Description
Group of four loose album pages featuring 34 original black and white snapshots from a reunion held on the battlefield at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The Eternal Light Peace Memorial can be seen in several of the photographs. It is likely that the unknown individual who took these photos attended its dedication in 1938.
Aged Civil War veterans, decorated with medals, shuffle among neat rows of tents and through the borough’s streets in many of the images. These photos are quite the contrast to others that show tanks and other modern military equipment that was brought to the reunion for display.
These photographs are an intimate look into a remarkable time when the last surviving veterans of the Civil War overlapped with the lives of a younger generation that would soon fight in World War II.
