2015.23.1Description
Large photo attached to matte board with the following printed on matte: "Soldiers' Re-union; Kewaunee, Wis., September 24, 25, & 26, 1885; The Veterans of Kewaunee, Door, Manitowoc and Brown Counties." Soldiers are dressed in civilian suits, some carrying flags, and they are standing in three double rows in a V-formation with one gentleman in front of the group with a cane. There are at least 120 soldiers in the photo. Many are wearing GAR medals; a group in back is wearing hats and some fringed shoulder epaulets (possibly band members?). There are several "teepees" of rifles in between the rows of soldiers. Only one soldier is identified (right side near front, marked with a very subtle blue ink 'V' on his chest) as Solon Birmingham, great-grandfather of Robert.Cataloged By
