Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Grand Army of the Republic, the largest of all Union Army veterans' organizations, was the most powerful single-issue political lobby of the late nineteenth century, securing massive pensions for veterans and helping to elect five postwar presidents from its own membership. To its members, it was also a secret fraternal order, a source of local charity, a provider of entertainment in small municipalities, and a patriotic organization. Using GAR convention proceedings, newspapers, songs, rule books, and local post records, Stuart McConnell examines this influential veterans' association during the years of its greatest strength. Beginning with a close look at the men who joined the GAR in three localities -- Philadelphia; Brockton, Massachusetts; and Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin - McConnell goes on to examine the Union veterans' attitudes towards their former Confederate enemies and toward a whole range of noncombatants whom the verterans called "civilians": stay-at-home townsfolk, Mugwump penion reformers, freedmen, women, and their own sons and daughters. In the GAR, McConnell sees a group of veterans trying to cope with questions concerning the extent of society's obligation to the poor and injured, the place of war memories in peacetime, and the meaning of the "nation" and the individual's relation to it. McConnell aruges that, by the 1890s, the GAR was clinging to a preservationist version of American nationalism that many white, middle-class Northerners found congenial in the face of the social upheavals of that decade. In effect, he concludes, the nineteenth-century career of the GAR is a study in the microcosm of a nation trying to hold fast to an older image of itself in the face of massive social change.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Records of Members of the Grand Army of the Republic When in the summer of 1886 the Twentieth National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic assembled in San Francisco, California, there was a natural desire in the community to learn all that was possible about an organization which commanded such unbounded enthusiasm and was so warmly welcomed. The press of the city published voluminous accounts of the receptions of the veterans, the history of the most distinguished among them, and many other interesting items connected with the order. These publications, though elaborate in many respects, reflecting great credit on the industrious, painstaking research of the editorial and reportorial staff, as well as numerous contributors, were necessarily inconvenient for preservation, and there was also much important data which had unavoidably to be omitted for want of space. The great value of these articles of the San Francisco press immediately previous and during the encampment caused the suggestion from many different members of the order that a work which would give in permanent and accessible form a history of the order, the record of the Twentieth National Encampment, and biographical sketches of members of the Grand Army of the Republic was exceedingly desirable and would be generally appreciated. It was under these circumstances that the book was commenced. How far it is a success will be for those personally interested to judge. It will be seen that it is a history of private soldiers as well as commissioned officers, and shows the admirable material of which the rank and file of the armies of the United States in the late Civil War were composed. They came from the different pursuits of life; they largely represented the intelligence, the moral and patriotic sentiment, and the best elements of the social and political system of the country. Great care has been taken to be accurate in all the statements. The data has been obtained either directly from the parties themselves, their friends, official sources or reliable publications. The purpose has been to narrate the facts concerning the military, civil, and Grand Army record of each member, in a plain manner, entirely devoid of coloring. The work is a step towards an encyclopedia of the Grand Army of the Republic, and we trust that many a comrade may find a familiar name in these pages. A second volume of this work will be issued at an early date which will give the history of the Grand Army as it appears herein, and will contain the biographies of other comrades unavoidably crowded out of the first volume. It is but proper and just that acknowledgments should be made to Past Commander-in-Chief Robert B. Beath, G. A. R., of Philadelphia, Pa., for valuable assistance and suggestions in the revision of the History. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
