Florence Harding, wife of President Warren G. Harding, is shown here welcoming a group of Confederate veterans as they arrived at the White House on June 23, 1922. The visit was part of the annual gatherings of former Confederate soldiers in Washington, a reunion tradition that drew aging veterans from across the South and was often marked by public ceremony. Photographed by the National Photo Company, the picture captures a moment when the White House opened its doors to a generation of men who had fought more than half a century earlier.
