Photographic War History. The War For The Union. 1861-1865. No. 6140. Raising the Old Flag over Fort Sumter. April 14, 1865, (four years from the day the Rebels had compelled Major Anderson to hand over the stars and stripes from the flag-staff at Fort Sumter,) Major General Anderson raised the same flag ove the ruins of the Fort, now again in possession of the United States. The ceremony was of most intense interest, Charleston Harbor was filled with Uncle Sam’s vessels covered with holiday flags. Great crowds thronged Fort Sumter. Henry Ward Beecher delivered the oration. At a given signal, amid booming cannon, and with the bands playing the Star Spangled Banner, Major General Robert Anderson ran up the glorious old flang, and ran it up to stay; a perpetual menace to treason from within, or foreign enemies from without. “Long shall it wave.” [Taylor & Huntington stereo card]
