8 IOWA CIVIL WAR SOLDIERS WHO WERE MEMBERS OF THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC, DEPARTMENT OF CALIFORNIA David C. Bailey, Sr. Past Department Commander, IL Department, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War Naperville, IL This is the second in a series of articles which use records of the Grand Army of the Republic (aka the GAR) to track the post-war movements of Iowa s Civil War veterans. The first dealt with those Iowa Civil War soldiers who were members of the GAR in Colorado and Wyoming. 1 The GAR was the largest veterans organization to appear after the conflict. During its active years, the GAR had a significant influence on politics, law, and social programs in the United States. Memorial Day was established as a national holiday, five GAR members were elected President of the United States, many of the Governors in the northern states were members, soldiers' homes were founded, veterans relief programs were established and ever more valuable pensions were given to the Union veterans. In many cases it was impossible for someone to be elected to public office if he were not a veteran of the Civil War and did not have the support of the GAR. National Encampments were yearly meetings that attracted over 25,000 veterans in the 1890 s. By 1890 when the GAR was reaching its peak, membership reached almost 500,000. The final Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic was held in Indianapolis, IN in The GAR in California was originally organized on 21 Feb 1868 and included the states of California and Nevada, as well as the then Arizona Territory and the Hawaiian Islands. (Note: A separate Department of Arizona was created on 17 Jan 1888.) At one time or another there were over 200 individual Posts within the Department, most in California. Virtually any town of appreciable size had a functioning Post. Larger cities, such as San Francisco (with at least six) and Los Angeles (with at least four) had multiple Posts. 3-8 GAR records can be very useful in tracking the post-war movements of Union Civil War veterans. Unfortunately many original records from local Posts have been lost and only a few Post and Departmental records were published. Those that were tend to be difficult to locate. This article is based on a relatively scarce roster of the then existing 125 Posts in the Department of California published in The following information of interest to genealogists is provided for each soldier (if available): Birth Date (from burial records) and location, or age at enlistment Service A brief summary of the soldier s service record; service in multiple units is included. Rank at the veteran s severance from the service is indicated. (Note: This means that if a soldier enlisted as a Sergeant and was promoted to Captain, only the latter rank is given. Conversely, if a soldier enlisted as a Corporal, but was later reduced to the ranks, his rank is shown as Private.) Other service highlights such as instances of wounding or being captured are also noted. Widow Name of surviving spouse from pension application Death Date and location Burial Cemetery and either city or county 6

9 Miscellaneous Membership in the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (MOLLUS, a veteran s organization for officers) and admissions to National Soldier s Homes It is also important to note what this list is not. It is not a complete list of Iowa Civil War veterans who resided at one time or another in the area covered by the Department of California. While the GAR was the largest Civil War veterans organization, not all veterans belonged to it. Whether due to political reasons, absence of a conveniently located local Post or other reasons, some veterans chose to eschew membership. This is also not a complete list of Iowa veterans who were members of the GAR in the Department of California over the entire period of the organization s existence. This list is based on a roster that is essentially a snapshot of the membership at a distinct point in time. Other veterans may have been members, but moved or relocated prior to the dates of the underlying rosters. Others may have migrated to these two states and joined the local GAR at other times.
