    This is the 50th anniversary reunion at Gettysburg in July 1913. This particular place was the siteof a reenactment of Pickett's Charge at Bloody Angle. It is not "Senator" Moore. The original caption is incorrect. It is not Bloody Angel, it is "Bloody Angle". J. Hampton Moore, shown speaking stridently in the photograph was the congressional Representative for Pennsylvania from November 6, 1906 to January 4, 1920. See offical biography here: bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=M000906 See a comparison photograph at FindAGrave here: www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=12893 The Battle of Gettysburg ran from July 1 to July 3, 1863. There is a mirror date scratched on the plate " 7/3/13 " July 3, 1913 being the 50th anniversary of the conclusion of the battle. It was a terribly hot day in Gettysburg, as you can see with some veterans sheltering under the shade of parasols. The story of the reenactment is here, in the New York Times of July 4, 1913: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9F01E0DD153FE6... "The Bloody Angle is formed by a break in the line of a stone fence." This area today: www.flickr.com/photos/cwpt/2197122471/in/photostream/

    LOC -- It's been 14 months now, way past time to correct the spelling of "Angle" in your caption.
