American Legion group dressed in Civil War uniforms
Title
American Legion group dressed in Civil War uniforms
Description
Black and white image of a group of men assembled in a room, dressed mostly in uniforms typical of the Union Army in the American Civil War. Most wear dark shirts, light pants, shoes and suspenders. One man wears a sergeant's uniform. Two men in the center of the front row hold a United States flag and another flag, though they appear to be modern versions of the flag. The second row is young men and boys with drums, while a few other men stand in the background. An Oddfellows sign hangs on the wall in the back of the image. Museum records identify the men simply as an American Legion group, but this image was part of the Herbert E. McMullen bequest. McMullen was a local photographer who also collected other images of daily life in the area.
