Caisson Carrying Body of President Harding, Side A

This stereograph by Keystone View Company shows the caisson carrying President Warren G. Harding's body as it leaves the White House on its way to the U.S. Capitol. While in San Francisco toward the end of his "Voyage of Understanding," Harding suddenly died on August 2, 1923, most likely from a heart attack. The caption reads: "Caisson Carrying the Body of President Harding Enroute from White House to Capitol, Washington, D. C."
