Rare Antique Society of the Army of the Potomac 1886-1890 Civil War Reunion Book    Rare Antique Society of the Army of the Potomac 1886-1890 Civil War Reunion Book

Hardcover Book with over 800+ Pages. I've seen the occasional original individual books on the Society of the Army of the Potomac reunions, but I can find no other books that include more than one reunion. This is an original book, not a reproduction. It is 132 years old and bears the name, rank, and signature of its original owner, Captain J. It is not only fascinating from a historical, Civil War, perspective, but it includes pages and pages of soldiers names and can be very useful for genealogy purposes as well.

Be sure to watch the video. The last part of it is flipping through the pages and pages of soldier names from one of the sections. Each section has just as many! I've spent a great deal of time researching Captain McMicken and will include the information with the book. It is very clear that the Captain was a dedicated Patriot his entire life. Captain, 43rd Regiment NY Vols (New York Volunteers), 6th Corps. Served with Major General George B. McClellan on the Peninsula Campaign in West Virginia and at the front in the battles of Antietam and Gettysburg. Captain McMickin's Obituary from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, November 4, 1901. McMicken, who died Saturday, November 2, at his residence, 7 South Elliott Place, of heart failure, after an illness of only two days, was a veteran of the war of the Rebellion. He was born at Albany, N. In 1844, and has resided in Brooklyn since 1865. He was attended in his last illness by Dr. He served with high distinction with the Forty-third New York Volunteers as captain and was with McClellan on the Peninsula and at the front in the battles of Antietam and Gettysburg and was brevetted major for meritorious service. He was a member of the Oxford Club, the Army and Navy, Loyal Legion, vice commander of the George Washington Post, the Seventh Regiment Veteran Association, Kismet Temple, and the Society of the Army of the Potomac. Three sons and two daughters survive Major McMicken. Funeral services Tuesday, November 5, at 4 p.
