HISTORICAL NOTE The organization that embraced veterans who had served the United States on land or sea during the Civil War, 1861-1865, was the Grand Army of the Republic. Its purpose was the cultivation of fraternity, comradeship, and patriotism among Union Veterans. The G.A.R. also exercised a political role and during the late 19th century was able to wield considerable influence in state and national politics. The G.A.R. sprang up in Illinois in 1866 and spread rapidly throughout the country. The plan of organization provided for individual posts at the local or precinct level. County organizations were called districts. At the state level, the organizations were known as Departments, e.g. Department of Nebraska. All post meetings, district meetings, and national encampments were designed to promote the growth of the order, to protect and assist disabled soldiers and their families, and to engender appreciation of service to the United States through moral, social, and political activity. The first post in Nebraska was chartered at the organization of the National G.A.R. in April of 1866 at Omaha, Nebraska. Nebraska was constituted a provisional department on July 10, 1867, but when no reports were received at the national headquarters, the state was dropped from the rolls. In 1874, a provisional Department commander was appointed. At the first annual encampment of the Department of Nebraska held at Omaha, June 12, 1877,the Department became a permanent part of the G.A.R. organization. There were twelve local posts were in the state at that time. A total of 356 posts were organized in the state, 1866-1908. With the passing of the union veterans came the demise of the G.A.R. By 1940 only a few posts remained, and in 1944 the last regular encampment of the Department of Nebraska was held in Lincoln with only one member present. The last civil war veteran in Nebraska, Michael Bondoll of Beatrice, died on December 24, 1948.

Individual post records can be found in Series Eight through Series Eleven and include reports of the Adjutant and Quartermaster of each post, 1879-1944; Registers of individual members of posts and their war records, 1879-1930; Post rosters and descriptive books; and minute books of some individual posts. The reports of Series Eight are organized by post number and by year. Post charters (if present) have been removed from this series and included in Series Twelve. Also included in Series Nine, is one reel of microfilm containing the Records of Baker Post #9, Columbus, Nebraska. The Official Roster of Civil War Soldiers in Nebraska as ordered by the G.A.R. Department Council of Administration in May 1911 has been microfilmed and exists as Series Ten. Volumes One and Two of this series are indexes to volumes one through four of the roster. Patrons should ignore old inventory at the beginning of these reels. Soldiers & Sailors of Illinois, 1888-1897, are listed in the single volume of Series Thirteen. This volume lists Illinois soldiers and sailors who were Nebraska residents in the years 1888-1897. Series Fourteen includes miscellaneous records relating to the Department of Nebraska G.A.R. and individual members of that group. Also included in one 42' reel of 35mm microfilm of The Great Republic, 1867-1868, published in Washington, D.C., and microfilmed by the Library of Congress in 1978. Oversize items included in this series are two G.A.R. scrapbooks, a facsimile of the charter of original post #1; a charter of the National Association of Union Ex-prisoners of War; and miscellaneous printed matter relating to the civil war but not strictly the Nebraska Department. Burial Records for Civil War Soldiers killed in action and buried in Nebraska and Civil War Veteran residents buried in Nebraska are included in the final series of the collection. The G.A.R. burial records can be found on microfilm in the James C. Olson Reference Library (East Reference Room). Lists of soldiers killed during the war and buried in Nebraska can be found in Box 74. The burial records on microfilm provide an alphabetical card file of all known G.A.R. members in Nebraska, which may not be complete. The card registers the veteran's war record, death dates, former residence, and cemetery lot numbers. An addition to this series added in 1995 includes an update of burial cards and adding of names of veterans of Nebraska companies who served during the period, 1861-1865. This project was compiled by Gerald Sherard of Colorado for the Historical Society. The added cards mostly identify men who served in Nebraska companies or were located in Nebraska at one time. For the most part, only the name and company or post location is given. The records of the Grand Army of the Republic were given to the Historical Society in the summer of 1922 (Neb. History Magazine, JulySept. 1922, #3, p.33) and transferred to the State Archives in 1966 from storage in the Capitol Building vaults. Additional records have been added from private collections of the Historical Society, most recently the papers of John Andrew Miller, MS0158; Frank H. Johnson, MS2612; and Martin J. Feenan, MS2606. The G.A.R. burial cards were microfilmed by the Historical Society and the film may be found in the
