Description
A boy in the post Civil War July 4 parade in Bangor in 1865 is dressed in "white waste and fashionable felt & straw hat" as depicted by John Martin (1823-1904), a Bangor accountant and shopkeeper who reflected on and recorded details of his life and activities in the Bangor area in a series of journals and scrap and sketch books.
On page 105 of the "Scrap & Sketch Book" he began in 1864, Martin wrote, "Another splendid feature in the procession was the boys schools being each school in separate companies with a regular set of captains Lieut sargents &c all boys and their music being boys with tenore drums."
