EDITORS COMMENTS
A solemn procession on Broadway: The coffin of Major General Philip Kearny (1815-1862), draped in an American flag, is carried atop a horse-drawn caisson through the streets of New York City. This poignant moment captures the grief and reverence for a fallen hero who gave his life during the Civil War. In 1912, Kearny's body was moved from Trinity Churchyard to Arlington Cemetery, where it would finally rest alongside fellow soldiers.
This powerful image is a testament to the nation's enduring respect for its military leaders and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of freedom. The somber procession serves as a reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of honoring our fallen heroes.
Photographed by Bain News Service, this black-and-white print offers a glimpse into America's complex history, where moments of tragedy are tempered by acts of patriotism and remembrance.
