Civil War Soldiers Telling War Stories in 1938: Gettysburg, Pennsylvania Veteran's Reunion
My Patreon Page: / lifeinthe1800s 0:00 Introduction 1:22 Civil War Vets Speaking 3:35 Veteran's Original Questionnaires These are Civil War veterans telling war stories in 1938. The Gettysburg reunion was an encampment of American Civil War veterans on the Gettysburg Battlefield for the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. The gathering included approximately 25 veterans of the battle with a further 1,359 Federal and 486 Confederate attendees out of the 8,000 living veterans of the war. The veterans averaged 94 years of age. Transportation, quarters, and subsistence was federally funded for each veteran and their accompanying attendant. If an attendant was needed it was provided. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's July 3 reunion address preceded the unveiling of the Eternal Light Peace Memorial; a newsreel with part of the address was included in the Westinghouse Time Capsule for the 1939 New York World's Fair.
