What is this?

What is this? Just a little trivia.

I'm going to guess it's a scene from right before the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand.

Hint: Little closer to home.

Well I'm going to say the date is 1895 to 1910…some sort of procession we're catching the end of in the photo….

Looks like a lot of women in the photo.  A women's suffrage march?

1865, five year old Teddy Roosevelt Watches Abraham Lincoln's funeral procession from an upstairs window of his grandfather's house on Union Square, New York City. With him are his younger brother Elliott and a friend named Edith Kermit Carow. Second building on the left you will see the children in the second story window.

Hey I was only off by 30 years. 🙂

[skiguy]

at least I had the correct country. 

[Stumpfoot]

At least you tried.  😀

How about this one, where is it and who does it memorialize? the Inscription on the monument reads:”In memory of the most brilliant soldier of the Continental army, who was desperately wounded on this spot, winning for his countrymen the decisive battle of the American Revolution, and for himself the rank of Major General.”

Benedict Arnold.  This is fun.

Ok, I can see that one was too easy for Skiguy. 😀

[Stumpfoot]

Oh yea, if anyone wants to join in, feel free! I will have to try and find one that Skiguy wont guess so easy. 🙄

Maybe the image title of “380px-Arnold-boot.jpg” was a bit of a giveaway for skiguy. 🙂 Ok, I've got one: name the bridge below.
