I remember reading about how surprised the event organizers were by the youthful appetites of the veterans at one of the reunions (I can't remember if it was the 1913 or 1938 reunion or both), they were good eaters. At one of the events, they drank all the whiskey provided twice over. In a live radio interview from '38, one veteran being questioned went off on the following tangent: (from memory) "I want to talk about women's skirts. They are too short. Why, when I was at the sporting house last week ... " (cut off by interviewer).

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Veterans of the American Civil War, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

According to www.nps.gov/archive/gett/getttour/sidebar/reunion13.htm this would be July 4, 1913. According to www1.american.edu/heintze/FourthPres.htm "1913- President Wilson is at Gettysburg giving a Fourth of July battle reunion speech. After one hour, he leaves by train for New York on way to Cornish, N.H. to spend a few days with his family." This looks like a train to me. And here is the itinerary of his trip: wwl2.dataformat.com/PDF/D06867.pdf
