perfecting a veterans organization.
The first post was formed at Decatur,
ILL.,, on the evening of April 6, 1866,
and this, with two posts established at
Springfield, adopted the principles
which have been the cardinal doctrines
of the organization. Ever since the
first national convention in 1S66-the
annual gatherings were not officially
styled "encampments" until the follow
ing year-the Grand Army has play
ed an important role in the history OF
the nation. 1t has done much for the
relief of its own members. 1t has done
much for charity, and it should not
be forgotten that in several instances
this charity-notably during the times
of the Mississippi valley yellow fever
outbreaks and the Charlestown earth
quake-was directed to the relief OF
former enemies. But most Of all it
has been a beneficial factor in keeping
alive the sentiments of loyalty and
patriotism.
