50 years after the Battle of Gettysburg, another army invaded
Gettysburg In 1865, more than 165,000 soldiers fought and tens of
thousands died on the battlefield of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Many
historians consider this the turning point of the Civil War. As the
years passed, the surviving veterans grew older and passed away. By
the turn of the century, the remaining veterans were in the 70's.
As the 50th anniversary of the Civil War approached, it became
apparent that if the country intended to honor its veterans, this
would be the last chance to thank many of them. In the early years
of the 20th Century, plans began forming for a Grand Reunion in
Gettysburg for the 50th anniversary of the battle. More than 54,000
Civil War veterans plus tens of thousands of spectators, family,
visitors and journalists descended on Gettysburg in 1913. The
veterans stayed in a tent city on the battlefield as they
remembered the great battle fought there. No North, No South... is
the story of the reunion and the Union and Confederate veterans who
came together there to remember their service to country and
celebrate renewed friendships. It contains more than 100
photographs from the 1913 Grand Reunion of the Battle of Gettysburg
that will give you a sense of what it was like to be part of the
greatest reunion of Civil War veterans that there ever was.
