EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in American history as Union and Confederate veterans, members of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) and their Confederate counterparts, gather for a reunion at the hallowed grounds of Gettysburg Battlefield in 1913. The scene is set in a military camp where a mobile kitchen stands ready to serve the old soldiers who once fought on opposite sides during the American Civil War. The Grand Army of the Republic, an organization founded in 1866, is represented by the Union veterans, while the Confederate veterans are not specifically identified in the image. The photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing, depicts a diverse group of men, some seated around the campfire while others stand and converse. The camp is dotted with tents, creating a sense of community and camaraderie among these veterans. The mobile kitchen, a vital provision for the event, adds a touch of home-cooked comfort to the otherwise rustic surroundings. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the healing power of reconciliation and the enduring bond between the American people, despite the deep divisions caused by the Civil War. The photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich heritage and history of the United States.
