Description

Group on street standing in front of large house. Several are carrying Confederate flags. The second flag from the left may be the 2nd National Confederate flag, the Stuart Artillery flag on display in the museum. Roger Preston Chew appears behind and to the left of the flag holder. A few men are dressed in United Confederate Veterans' uniforms. A white-bearded man behind and to the left of Chew in a black suit and hat is wearing the Southern Cross. This means the photograph was likely taken after 1900, as the first Southern Cross was awarded in that year.
