A 1938 group portrait of Civil War veterans in Grand Army of the Republic uniforms alongside members of the Daughters of Union Veterans from Denver and Greeley, Colorado, photographed by Mark D. Miller of Fort Collins. The banners visible in the crowd identify D.U.V. Tent No. 2 from Denver and a delegation from Greeley. By 1938, the surviving Union veterans were well into their nineties, and gatherings like this were becoming increasingly rare. The Grand Army of the Republic, founded in 1866, had once been one of the most powerful veterans organizations in the country, with over 400,000 members at its peak in 1890.
