EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment from the Gettysburg Reunion in 1913, where members of the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) and United Confederate Veterans (U.C.V.) gathered to honor the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. In the foreground, Secretary Lindley M. Garrison of the G.A.R. stands proudly, dressed in his military uniform, with Colonel Liggett of the U.S.A. (United States Army) behind him, also in uniform. The two men, representing the Union and Confederate forces respectively, exemplify the spirit of reconciliation that marked this historic event. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned Washington D.C. photographic studio, and is part of their extensive collection held at the Library of Congress. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion of the early 20th century, with both men wearing full-length, formal military attire, reflecting the era's military traditions and respect for the past. The photograph's composition, with the two men standing against a neutral background, emphasizes their shared humanity and the common ground they found in their shared history. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the healing power of time and the importance of remembering the past to inform the present.
