Shoe Shiners Gathered Around a Civil War Veteran
This photo taken in 1935 shows a group of young shoe shiners sitting on their stools around an elderly long bearded Civil War veteran. Shoe shiners were pretty much everywhere in the early 20th century. But while shoe shining was how these young men made a living, they didn’t seem to mind taking a break so they could hear everything about this man’s personal account of the American Civil War that lasted from April 12, 1861 to April 9, 1865.
