To Revisit the Scenes of Civil War After Half Century.
At 1:58 today John Kresler and Everet Halstead started for Richmond, Va., and for some ten days or two weeks they will visit the old battlefields of the civil war, in some of which Mr. Kresler participated almost half a century ago. Vicksburg, Petersburg, Fredericksburg, Chansellorsville and the Wilderness, Antietam, Washington, Gettysburg and other places. They will probably also visit Washington, D. C., Philadelphia and Niagara Falls. Mr. Halstead has always taken an intense interest in civil war history and Mr. Kresler is accompanying him as a guide in his visit to some of the most interesting of our historic battlefields.
