OWN Thoughtful ml TTajor-Gene- By ELMO SCOTT WATSON years ago the National C Capital witnessed the greatest miil-j- f tary parade In the history of the nation. It was the "Grand Review" II w ot the victorious Union armies at the close of the Civil war. For two days a solid phalanx of marching men streamed past the reviewing I stand where sat the high officials m M ot the nation and when the last ec ot tlie treai! tn!s m,Knty AiM 1. Y, host on I'eunsyivania avenue naa V-died away, Andrew Johnson had seen what no other President before or since has seen the armed might of America In the form of more than a quarter of a million of fighting men. When the war ended in April, 1SC5, more than a million men were In the service of the United States. A still larger number bad been enrolled and discharged. Over 250,000 more had enrolled and were now t'encamped In the bivouac of the dead." All In all, throughout those fnr years of 1861 to 1SG5, a total of 2,ST9,132 had been called to military service. Near Washington was encamped the flower of the Union forces the Army of the Potomac, 170,000 strons, and the Array of the West, C5.000 strong. To celebrate the closing of the war and to give the people an opportunity to look upon the men who had saved the nation, Edwin M. Sainton, secretary of war, suggested that these armies be formally reviewed in the National Capital before being discharged from service and returned to their homes. Accordingly, under orders Issued hy General Grant, preparations were made for the review to take place on May 23 and 24, 1SG5. Public and private buildings In Washington were decorated for the occasion. Floating flags and draped bunting were everywhere and at prominent places along the line of march were erected triumphal arches covered with floral embellishments. In front of the White House four reviewing stands were built, decorated with regimental battle flags and flowers. The school children of the city, the girls dressed in white and the hoys in black jackets and white trousers, were assembled on the terraces and balconies of the Capitol to Log patriotic songs as the soldiers passed. Along the front of the Capitol was spread a huge banner inscribed with the legend : "The National Debt We Can Never Pay Is the Debt We Owe'Our Victorious Soldiers." Massed along Pennsylvania avenue, perched In trees and occupying every window and roof of the houses on that historic street, were the crowds which had come from all parts of the North to witness the pageant. It whs estimated that more than 100,000 were there, the greatest crowd that Washington had ever seen. Shortly before nine o'clock on the morning of May 23 a thrill of expectancy ran through the crowd as the magic word, "Here they come!" passed down the line. The blare of a trumpet, the drums and down the avenue came a litroll tle group of horsemen. At their head rode a two silver bearded officer, on his shoulder-strap- s atars. It was MaJ. Gen. George Meade, the victor Gettysburg, who was leading the Arm of the IXTY-FIV- E ' bi-e- ft Potomac. Behind him clattered his mounted escort and then In solid rank on rank the men who had fought with Grant ut Spottsylvnnia, at Cold Harbor, In the Wilderness, and at Petersburg, and !) r"!i tvlio liiid divided their rations with the men in gray at Appomattox. Their uniforms were soiled and faded, for there had been no brushing up for this occasion. They marched in the garb In which they had fought and the thunder of their footsteps as they pressed steadily on with the stride of veterans could not be drowned out even by the roaring cheers that greeted them. At 9:25 o'clock General Meade lifted his sword In salute as he rode past the main reviewing stand in front of the White House. In It sat President Johnson and members of his cabinet. Grouped around them, in brilliant uniform, were the diplomats and envoys of foreign countries. On the President's left sat a stubby, bearded little man who had led this host to victory Lieut. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. Back of them stood distinguished officers of the army and navy Halleck, Meigs. Hancock "the Superb" and Burnside "the Splendid but Unfortunate." At the head of the cavalry corps rode Sheridan's "two boys," Wesley Merritt and George Armstrong Custer. And It was Custer, with his long golden curls and flaming red necktie (that was the badge adopted by his adoring men of the Third Cavalry Division) who. In modern parlance, "stole the show" from all the other officers there. As this "Boy General," who had been a second lieutenant at twenty-one- , a brigadier general at twenty-threand a major general at twenty-foupassed the Treasury building a chorus of :W0 young girls In white sang "Hail to the Chief and showered him with bouquets. Gallantly he tried to catch one of the wreaths on the point of his saber and for a moment loosened the tight rein he held on "Don Juan," the magnificent black charger which he rode. In a second the horse had bolted and despite the efforts of the great rider on his back tore at top speed down the avenue. As Custer fought in vain to regain control of his mount, his hat fell off, his bright curls streamed In the sun and It was this unforgettable picture of "the last of the Cavaliers" which burst upon those In the President's reviewing stand where in a iast effort of superb horsetannship Custer brought the black charger to a halt. As he rody by the second time. In regular order, the applause which had greeted the other marchers seemed but a whisper compared to the roar that went "ip meet this smiling youth, now nearly covered garlands of flowers. Shortly before three o'clock that afternoon ' : first day of the "big parade of 1805" had endet'J It had taken the veterans of the war in the Has., more than six hours to pass the reviewing slan On the morrow their brother veterans from ti f West would have their chance for the plaudits f the crowd. "Before daylight the fire companies o the city were out watering the streets for tl. splendid military display of General Sherman' army" reads a contemporary newspaper account of the second day of the review. "At 9 o'clock Gen. Sherman, heading the column, marched down Pennsylvania avenue amid the din of huzzas and congratulations and a hailstorm of bouquets and wreatha. e r, 1 t (feorcfeA, diairer- In his Memoirs, Sherman gives a vivid description of the march of his men. He says: "When I reached the Treasury building nnd looked back, the sight was simply magnificent. The column was compact and the glittering muskets looked like a solid mass of steel, moving with the regularity of a pendulum. We passed the Treasury building, in front of which, and the White House, was an immense throng of people. As I neared the brick house opposite the lower corner of Lafayette square some one asked me to notice Mr. Seward, who, still feeble and bandaged from his wounds (Seward was stabbed the night of Lincoln's assassination) had been removed there that he might behold the troops. I moved in that direction and took off my hat to Mr. Seward, who sat at an upper window. He recognized the salute, returned It, and then we rode steadily past the President, saluting with our swords. All on his stand arose and returned the salute. Then, turning into the gate of the Presidential grounds, we left our horses with the orderlies and went upon the stand. I took my post by the side of the President and for six hours and a half, stood while the Western army passed in the order of the 15th, 17th. 20th. and 14th corps. But If this review represented all the pomp and circumstance of war, there was a reflection of its horror and cruelty, too. in the march of Slier-man- 's men. For along with them marched thousands of freed slaves, sheep, goats, pigs, cows and horses, which "Shermans Bummers" had picked up along the way. In their ambulances ami pack trains were game cocks, poultry, calves, Jewelry and a miscellaneous collection of other articles, brought with them back fnna their campaign of devastation through the South. Perhaps the cheering crowds, looking upon these men in blue as as the saviors of the nation, gave but little thought to the true meaning of that strange spectacle, nor realized the agony of defeat, of hunger, and of poverty for years to come fur the people of their own blood which this part of the triumphal march represented. But even though this tragic aspect of a civil conflict was lost upon them then there were no doubt, among the spectators, hundreds who looked beyond the ranks of the marching men and saw the invisihle ranks of those who were present in spirit only in this grand review. It was this phantom army, the thousands of soldier dead some of whose bones still lay iinburied on the' battle Holds of the South, that Bret Harte celebrated in one of his finest poems when he wrote: I read last night of the Grand Review In Washington's chiefest avenue. Two hundred thousand men In blue, I think they said that was the number T'ill I seemed to hem ti.i .: ;he bugle blast, aud the drum quick beat ' he clatter of hoofs n the street i he cheers of people who camestony to ..nd the thousand details, that to greet repeat Would only my verse encumber I fell In a sad reverie, and sweet.
