One of the reporters from New York was Herbert Bayard Swope, then of the Herald.

Maybe keeping someone like Bayard Rustin in the shadows seemed to make sense at the time, but no one can argue that now.

A Bayard in society—a Raphael at the easel, he bore a distinguished part in the lionization of the day.

General Bayard was sitting at the foot of a tree, waiting for orders, and watching the advancing columns of Meade and Gibbon.
