Parade On Pennsylvania Ave., West Virginia G.A.R. Unit, 1915
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a striking photograph captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio. The image depicts a group of proud and determined men from the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) unit of West Virginia, as they march through the streets of Washington D.C. on Pennsylvania Avenue. Established in 1866, the Grand Army of the Republic was a fraternal organization composed of veterans of the Union Army, Union Navy, and the Marines who served in the American Civil War. The veterans are seen here wearing their distinctive uniforms, complete with hats adorned with insignia, and carrying flags and banners that bear the names of their companies and regiments. One of the banners in the photograph reads "Company B, 61st O.V.V.I. 1865-1915 - One of Sherman's Bummers - Dept. of West Va. GAR. Wellsburg." This indicates that these men served in the 61st Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment, a unit that was famously known as "Sherman's Bummers" due to their rough and unconventional appearance. The photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie and pride that defined the G.A.R., as the men march in formation, their faces expressing a sense of unity and purpose. The scene is reminiscent of a time when the nation came together to honor the sacrifices of its veterans and to celebrate the end of a long and painful chapter in American history. This photograph is an invaluable historical record of a bygone era, and a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served in the Civil War. The image is part of the vast Harris & Ewing Collection held at the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of American history that continues to inspire and inform us today.
