Centennial Research Help

[Chris Troiano]

Hello all,

I am conducting research for my doctoral dissertation and am trying to get more information regarding the 100th anniversary of the Grant Review in May of 1965. Specifically, I'm trying to find a parade roster or list of participants. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Maybe James N. might know something about this. A little bit before my time, didn't know there was one. Would be interesting to know more about it.

One of my sources ended up being a typo and it was referring to the 150th re-enactment in 2015, but I still do have a Centennial Report referencing a Grand Review held in 1965 as seen below. I have the Reading and Appomattox programs she mentions, so those are separate events...

I'd suggest a narrow 1965 time window (before/during/after) on www.newspapers.com for 'Grand Review' with and without geographic limitations (like using 'Gettysburg' as an additional search term).

This was a hit from DuckDuckGo https://www.nytimes.com/1965/02/28/...l-ends-grand-review-slated-to-be-held-in.html

I'd start by looking for it in Chronicling America, the Library of Congress's free searchable online news paper collection. You might just luck out that way.

Thank you, but their collection only goes up to 1963. I used Newspapers.com to find the clips attached to my earlier replies.

Thank you @Story . Using Newspapers.com with various search fields is how I came up with the clips attached above. Thanks!
