Civil War souvenir print containing six views of the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon at the southwest corner of Washington
and Swanson Avenues and the Cooper Shop Volunteer Refreshment Saloon at 1009 Ostego Street. Contains a large central view
of the exterior of the Union Saloon with troops arriving, entering the dining saloon, and departing on a Philadelphia, Wilmington
& Baltimore Railroad car as crowds of people flock around them. Other views depict soldiers using the wash basins adjoining
the Cooper Shop Saloon; pro-Union flags and Saloon banners; the Union Saloon's outside washing and cooking departments including
an African American man carrying a pail of food; and interiors of both saloons where male and female volunteers attend to
long tables of food and a large simmering vat on a hearth. Contains an eagle clutching large American flags and a pro-Union
banner above the scenes. Situated at the transportation hub between the North and the South, the relief organizations provided
hospital care, washing, sleeping, and writing facilities to over 1,000,000 military personnel, sailors, refugees, and freedmen
during the war.
