    During the reunion, there was a reenactment of Pickett's Charge. This photograph was taken either just before or just after the reenactment at Bloody Angle on July 3, 1913.

    See a photograph of the same location taken from a slightly different view, with the bearded Confederate veteran standing beside the Stars and Bars. See here:

    What a photo....moving as all get out to see the survivors of that bloody day come together in peace and as comarades once again.
