Confederate Veterans at Gettysburg 1888 Photos
|
|
|
SOLD!!!
Here are a pair of photos of Confederate veterans at Gettysburg on July 2, 1888. This was the 25th Reunion at Gettysburg! Both photographs are the same but one is badly fadded. All but two of the men in the front row have badges and ribbons on. I can see three veterans that are wearing the Stonewall Jackson camp badge. I have attached a photo of the badge so you can see the badges but there is no badge in this grouping. The second man on the left is wearing a square Army of Northern Virginia badge. Written on the back of the best photograph in pencil is "Group of Ex-Confederate & Federal soldiers - Gettysburg July 2nd 1888". The photos are approximately 8 1/2 inches by 5 1/4 inches. Great photos!

General Winfield Scott CDV
|
|
|
General Winfield Scott was one of our most distinguished soldiers! He grew up in Virginia and fought in the War of 1812. He was badly wounded at Lundy's lane and became an international hero. He became commander-in-chief of the army in 1841 and was the acknowledge genius of the Mexican War. He ran for President in 1852 but was defeated by Franklin Pierce. He conceived the "Anaconda Plan" which in essence became the overall Federal strategy in 1864 -65. Scott requested retirement in 1861 after General McClellan was made commander of the Army of the Potomac. He died in 1866.
