Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Manual of the Grand Army of the Republic, Containing Its Principles and Objects Together With Memorial Day in the Department of Michigan, May, 1869, List of Officers, Etc The honor of organizing the Grand Army of the Republic belongs to the State of Illinois. The first Post was organized by Col. B. F. Stephenson at Dakota, Illinois, early in the spring of 1866. The Order spread so rapidly that in the July following a meeting was called to organize that State into a Department, at which convention some forty Posts were represented. On the 20th day of November, 1866, a convention met in Indianapolis to organize a National Encampment, at which, Delegates were present from Posts organized in Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Wisconsin, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky, Indiana, and the District of Columbia. Here was completed, so far as the outline is concerned, our present National Encampment, and the regulations and ritual adopted. General Stephen A. Hurlburt, of Illinois, was chosen Commander-in-Chief; General James B. McKean, of New York, Senior Vice Commander-in-Chief; General Nathan Kimball, of Indiana, Junior Vice Commander-in-Chief, and Colonel B. F. Stephenson, Adjutant General, with headquarters at Springfield, Illinois. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
