Photograph in postcard format of eight elderly gentlemen posed in front of a tent surrounded by many other tents, an American flag flies in the background. One of the men is holding a sign that says, "12th N.H.V." (New Hampshire Volunteers). On the reverse in manuscript is "Tent 38, Gettysburg, July 1st, 1913." Five of the men are identified with the note, "Others unknown to me (Isaac B. Hoyt, Hiram Philbrick, Moses Gilman, L.L. Thomas, Andrew Gilman) , but from the eastern part of the county (Belknap County, NH)." Otis Waite in his book, New Hampshire in the Great Rebellion, 1870, wrote of the 12th, "raised in Belknap & Carroll Counties, 3 year enlistments, with III Corp at Fredericksburg, heavily engaged at Chancellorsville & Gettysburg (severe) losses...severe losses at Cold Harbor... In capture of Richmond, suffered 12.3% killed." The photo is accompanied by a lovely note in an elderly person's handwriting, "Civil War Veterans, left to right, Do not know Hoyt, expect from Laconia (NH), 2. Hiram Philbrick lived a mile below us on road to Lochmere in Sanbornton. 3. A neighbor (Moses Gilman) of ours in Sanbornton. Ruby L and parents came to take care of Moses and his wife about 1913-16, Moses G. by name." We believe it was at the 1913 GAR/UCV reunion that movie film with sound was made of several dozen Confederate veterans hobbling toward the stone wall that figured in Pickett's charge, giving the Rebel yell.
