Gettysburg veteran General Daniel Sickles at the Great Reunion in 1913. He died the following year at age 94. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Sickles

Interesting to caption this as "Cheering Sickles". General Sickles himself appears to also be cheering, and every person in the photo appears to be looking at one place. Would Sickles have been cheering himself? Today that would seem unlikely, but I'm not sure of the etiquette for cheering in 1913.

Sickles was in his 90s at the Great Reunion, he was allowed to cheer for anything as he pleased. ;) And from the stories about him, I doubt etiquette was ever a major consideration in his life, at any age.

As a legislator he had pushed for the establishment of Gettysburg as a park. Perhaps that was what the cheering was about. bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=S000402 has a briefer bio than Wikipedia, focusing on his political career in New York State and Congress. See comments on www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3681834943/ for more about him and his female companion, Mrs. Wilmerding. This picture was used in a longer biography at www.sicklesatgettysburg.com/Sickles_Biography.html NYT of June 30, 1913 reports on his visit to the Gettysburg reunion: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9502E6DD153FE633A...
