The Louisville Liederkranz was a singing society organized in 1848 by the city's German immigrants. One program documents the performance of the Liederkranz Orchestra at a welcome home ceremony for Louisville Legion troops returning from the Spanish-American War. The program is illustrated with an image of the unit's commander, Col. John Breckinridge Castleman, as well as a drawing of a soldier in uniform. The program contains a list of songs performed and speeches given by various dignitaries.
