History of the Organization and First Four Years of the Grand Army of the Republic. It was a mysterious awakening to the youth of the 1 North in 18(51 to obey the bugle call "To arms! for war. It was the first appeal to his chivalry; and when he became a soldier, with musket in his hands, lie for the first time realized that he was a hero. And when he came back from the war, the service lie had given his country made him a veteran, and he became the recipient of the Nation s homage. But the service was something more than simple duty performed, something more than obeying commands; it was a life of hardships, sufferings, anguish of wounds, weary marches, privations, battle. Such service placed him before the American people as a preferred creditor of the Nation, and no man, not a soldier, could put himself in his place. The soldier haid made it possible to have and keep a united country, and around him was thrown that subtle charm that conies only to those who have felt the heat and passion of battle. -
