at the Cannstatter
Volks-Fest Verein

 

 

Members of the General Meade Society of Philadelphia gathered at the Cannstatter Volks-Fest Verein celebrate the 25th (!) birthday of the founding of the Society, whose mission is to recognize the overlooked contribution of Philadelphia’s great general and citizen. The Society has felt for some time that General Meade has been slighted in Civil War history despite his victory at Gettysburg and other stellar service. They strive to educate the public and point out flaws in past portrayals of him and to get him granted his rightful place after the conflict.

Here is the program from the day as a PDF file.
