    This was on July 3, 1913 and the occasion was the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. See related note at adjacent photograph in series here: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3641564726/in/p...

    Thanks lifeasdaddy, for your link to the NYTimes article (in the adjacent photo) about the event. It's a great read. We'll fill in the caption information and add the date next time we update this record.

    LOC -- Bain misspelled Gen. Liggett's name. This is Brigadier General Hunter Liggett, president of the Army War College, who was commander of the Gettysburg encampment during the 1913 reunion. Fort Hunter Liggett in California was named for him. He would have been 56 when this picture was taken. Wikipedia entry for Hunter Liggett: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Liggett

    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!

    There is definitely a rope in the next picture. If you look at the larger version of it you can see someone's hand resting on it. Perhaps the line here really is a rope.

    The man holding the flag is Giles Coons, my Great Great Grandfather John Rockwell's (pictured behind him to the right in the white shirt) wife's brother. This is the 106th.
