Lithograph, with the top half covered by an illustration of two Union soldiers on a hilltop. One is lying on his side with his arm raising his hat overhead looking toward his comrade. The second stands, proudly holding an American Flag, tattered and torn yet still waving in his left hand, along with a smoking gun in his right. This work, likely sponsored by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, announces: "G.A.R./ Encampment/ Louisville, KY./ Sept. 11th to 14th, 1895./ Excursion Tickets to Louisville will be sold at all stations on/ Baltimore & Ohio R.R./and all connecting line…/For More Detailed Information, address Nearest Ticket Agent, B. & O.R.R./R.B. Campbell, General Manager. Chas. O. Scull, General Passenger Agent./John Cox's Sons, Lithographers and Printers, Baltimore, Md." Lithograph measures 9 1/2" x 27", featuring double matting of dark blue inside light blue (14" x 32"), and light colored wooden frame (15 1/4" x 33 1/2"). Following the Civil War, "groups of men began joining together--first for camaraderie and then for political power. Emerging most powerful among the various organizations would be the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), which by 1890 would number 409,489 veterans of the "War of the Rebelion."
Founded in Decatur, Illinois on April 6, 1866 by Benjamin F. Stephenson, membership was limited to honorably discharged veterans of the Union Army, Navy, Marine Corps or the Revenue Cutter Service who had served between April 12, 1861 and April 9, 1865. The community level organization was called a "Post" and each was numbered consecutivelly within each department. The Departments generally consisted of the Posts within a state and, at the national level, the organization was operated by the elected "Commandery-in-Chief."
Post Commanders were elected as were the Junior and Senior Vice Commanders and the members of Council. Each member was voted into membership using the Masonic system of casting black or white balls. The meeting rituals and induction of members were similar to the Masonic rituals and have been handed down to the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War.
The official body of the Department was the annual Encampment, which was presided over by the elected Department Commander, Senior and Junior Vice Commanders and the Council. Encampments were elaborate multi-day events which often included camping out, formal dinners and memorial events.
The GAR founded soldiers' homes, was active in relief work and in pension legislation. Five members were elected President of the United States and, for a time, it was impossible to be nominated on the Republican ticket without the endorsement of the GAR voting block" [Ref: suvcw.org/gar].
