Civil War veterans on Amherst Town Common
United States -- History -- Civil War, 1861-1865; Veterans
Amherst (Mass.)
Civil War veterans standing at attention on the east side of the Town Common. This is probably a Memorial Day event which followed a similar program for many years: speeches in the schools, speeches at various locations in area towns where the local Civil War veterans gathered en masse, a luncheon, and finally, a gathering of the veterans on the Amherst Common followed by a procession to the West Cemetery where there were more exercises. This photograph may have been taken in 1911, the 50-year anniversary of the start of the Civil War.
