Tenting on the Old Camp Ground The Blue and Gray Fraternizing
Special Correspondence of The Boston Globe from the Shenandoah Valley recounts Sheridan’s veterans visiting Harper's Ferry and Winchester on September 19. The event revived Civil War memories with campfires, pig races, two flags, and a joint greeting by New England and Winchester leaders. Veterans toured Bolivar Heights and the Opequan battlefield, witnessed cemetery ceremonies for Union and Confederate dead, and heard calls for peace and reconciliation. The scene closed with a night of music, lanterns, and a pledge that there be no more hate between former foes.
