Grand Army Men

The GAR and Its Male Organizations is a collector's guide and introductory history to the Grand Army of the Republic, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War and the Military Order of the Loyal Legion. Quoting long-forgotten resources, this book reveals a rich history previously lost. For the first time, all badges and insignia of all three post-Civil War societies are shown in full color and sequential order of manufacture. Deemed a "must-have" volume for both historians and collectors. The author brings much-needed details to identify the rare from the common and illustrates a number of only known examples previously seen by a handful of collectors.
