A 1917 memorial reunion at Vicksburg, Mississippi, ties this picture to the 1863 siege that gave the city its place in Civil War history. By then, surviving veterans were often in their seventies, and reunions like this drew former soldiers together with the families who kept their memories alive. Vicksburg's battlefield had become a center of commemoration, with monuments and markers set along the lines where the armies fought. Such gatherings show how the war had become a public ritual of remembrance half a century after it ended.
