Cool stuff Pickwickjr. Love seeing the colored images... Kind of cool how they listed the men who deserted. These deserve to be framed. Thanks for sharing.

A portion of my collection of exonumia from GAR National Encampments held in Denver, Colorado. These pieces are some of my 1905 encampment collection. There were two other encampments held in Denver, one in 1883 and one in 1928.

It’s a list of a volunteer Cavalry from 1861. Lists all the battles they were in. Lots of info on it just amazing.
Here’s a few more, thanks for the post USAROK
Very interesting reminders of our history. Thanks for sharing them. This is the lone representative I have from that brief and tragic time.
It's interesting to me the extent to which the Civil War affected the hearts and minds of Americans. It remained a living memory to a few until probably the middle part of the 1900s. I think the public consciousness of the war was more evident when I was a kid than today. It was a frequent feature of grade-school plays and was talked about by adults around me. It's strange that our perception of something so long ago would continue to change during my lifetime.
The same thing is happening today regarding WWII. Total-commitment, large-scale conflict is something we don't really conceptualize any more.
My kids think it's absolutely absurd that I remember people born in the 1800s, that a person who was on the Titanic was a patient in the hospital I worked at, and that I took care of WWI veterans in the early part of my career. I'm still in my 40s.

As an intern in 1984 I remember taking care of a Spanish American War veteran who vividly described to me storming San Juan Hills.
