Summary:26th Pennsylvania Emergency Regiment Monument, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, circa 1907-1908. Caption reads: The Emergency Men.

In the background appears the residence of John Burns, the civilian hero of Gettysburg, whose valor won him a place in history. Postmark date: August 3, 1908; Postcard number: 4750; Message included.
