This booklet was prepared by the Pennsylvania State Commission for the 1938 reunion of veterans in Gettysburg. The forward reads, “That this nation shall forever endure under the guidance of a lasting peace….that the fellowship and brotherhood of man shall be imperishably instilled in all generations….that the spirit of Christian tolerance shall never wane….this booklet is hereto dedicated.”

Following this are photographs and letters from President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Pennsylvania Governor John S. Rice. Booklet has pictures of state and federal commissioners involved in the reunion. A program for the reunion is also included. On July 3^rd 1938, we see the dedication of the Eternal Peace Light Memorial by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on the docket.

Text contains 23 pages. Program measures 9 ¼” x 12”. Good condition with corners a little bent. Some yellowing has occurred with age.

An address is affixed to the front of this program: Albert F. Kachelski of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. On the first page of this program a pencil note reads: “Presented to Mr. William G. Davis after the death of Uncle Jim Chadwick / last Union veteran of Madera California / who went to this reunion.” A blue ink pen note gives William Davis’ address as 829 Sierra Madre, California. Mr. Kachelski’s handwritten notes on the Civil War can also be found in the back of this program on looseleaf notebook paper. [cla] [PH:L]
