Gettysburg Reunion Brings Old War Bonds Back to Life
At the Gettysburg reunion the blue and gray veterans mingled as brothers after fifty years. Stories of escape and chance meetings filled the camp, with tales of a blue Union soldier hiding under a fallen Confederate guard at Peachtree Creek and a gray veteran from New Orleans reuniting with his Oregon comrade. Other scenes included uniforms swapped on the platform, food contrasts from 1863 to 1913, and a Key descendant’s appearance. The gathering featured two men named John Carson from Burlington, one in New Jersey and one in North Carolina, meeting by chance. The crowd also noted John Francis Key, grandson of Francis Scott Key, and veteran Captain W H Fielg of Houston, a spry ninety-year-old Confederate Navy veteran.
