Found this great little sketch in a SCV magazine cover-dated May 1923. Take a look at the lower left and the old black vet with the caption "All the heroes weren't white."

I'm not sure entirely what the context is or who Gilbert Sutton was. It appears as though he was just sketching and captioning what he saw at the reunion. These little drawings of old vets are all through this magazine. The glowing language fits in with what we see in newspapers of this era when talking about black Confederate veterans. I almost posted it in the post-war newspaper thread, but it doesn't really belong there.
