The National Tribune was published in Washington D.C. well after the war and served generally as the organ of the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) and as a forum for old soldiers to share their reminiscences.

In more modern times, it morphed into what is now Stars and Stripes. Only recently have these valuable sources reached wider use by historians.

The webmaster would like to thank Robert E. L. Krick and Eric J. Mink for contributing these sources.
