Rows of uniformed officers stand at the front of this 1910 crowd, marking the dedication as a formal civic occasion rather than a casual gathering. Pittsburgh was then one of the country's great industrial cities, and public monuments and memorial unveilings drew large crowds of residents, veterans and local officials. Ceremonies like this one were often used to honor the dead and to affirm civic pride. The dense crowd and the disciplined line of uniforms are worth studying for how such events were organized and who turned out to see them.
