EDITORS COMMENTS
Gettysburg Reunion, 1913" is a captivating photograph taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio. This historic image captures a significant moment in American history, as veterans of the Civil War gathered for a reunion in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, United States. The photograph was taken at the local baseball park, where two teams, likely composed of former soldiers from both the Union and Confederate armies, engage in a friendly match. The grandstand is filled with an enthusiastic crowd, both men and women, dressed in their finest attire, cheering and clapping for their teams. Some spectators sit in the shade of trees, while others stand along the fence, intently watching the game. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt and black suspenders, possibly a team member, adjusts his cap as he waits for his turn at bat. The scene is reminiscent of a simpler time, where the healing power of sports and community brought together those who had once been divided by war. This poignant image, taken during the 1910s, is a testament to the resilience and unity of the American spirit. The photograph is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection, housed at the Library of Congress, and is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on American history, heritage, and culture. Notable figures in the photograph include George William Harris, one of the founders of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio, and his wife, Martha Ewing Newcombe (nee Kuntze), who is believed to have played a significant role in the management and operation of the studio. This photograph, with its rich history and intriguing story, is a must-have for anyone interested in the social, political, and cultural landscape of early 20th century America.
