EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back to the heart of Philadelphia during the American Civil War, specifically to the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon. Established in 1861, this refuge was a vital hub for Union soldiers passing through the city, providing them with much-needed respite from the harsh realities of the battlefield. The saloon, located in the bustling center of the city, was run by a dedicated group of volunteers, both men and women, who sought to offer comfort and sustenance to the weary soldiers. The scene captured in this photograph showcases the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the saloon, with soldiers gathered around tables, engaged in conversation or playing cards, while others line up at the bar, eagerly awaiting their turn to be served. The volunteers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, can be seen in the background, busily preparing food and drinks, or tending to the needs of the soldiers. The room is filled with an air of camaraderie and relief, a brief moment of respite from the horrors of war. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the volunteers and soldiers during the Civil War, and the crucial role that community support played in sustaining the morale and wellbeing of the Union army. The Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon stands as a testament to the resilience and compassion of the people of Philadelphia during this pivotal moment in American history.
