Carbondale PA Pennsylvania Civil War Gettysburg Monument Linen Postcard Unused

This vintage linen postcard features a detailed color illustration of the Civil War Monument located in Carbondale, Pennsylvania. The monument commemorates the brave defenders of the Union from 1861-1865 and was erected in 1885 under the auspices of Sergeant Wm. H. Davis, Post No. 187, G.A.R., and the citizens of Carbondale.
