"The flags flutter and snap, the sunlight flashes from the officer's swords, low words of command are heard, and thus in perfect order, this gallant array of gallant men marches straight down into the valley of Death!" Randolph Abbott Shotwell, 8th Virginia Infantry, describing Pickett's Charge.

A very nice MEMBER RIBBON issued for the 14th Annual Re-Union of the COLUMBIA COUNTY VETERANS ASSOCIATION. This ribbon has a great image of a GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) membership badge. The event was held September 11, 1909 in Benton, Pennsylvania. Measures about 7 1/4 inches long. CONDITION: Very good. Some minor spotting. Other minor signs of age. NOTE: Apparant waviness in scans is not present on the ribbon. (#p2883)

NOTES: The area around Benton, Pennsylvania was the home of the so-called FISHING CREEK CONFEDERACY. During the Civil War Union troops were sent into the area to "root out" individuals who were supposedly disloyal to the North. A little internet research may yield some interesting results concerning this unique Civil War story!
