Book excerpt: Excerpt from Official Roster, Department of Colorado and Wyoming, Grand Army of the Republic: Embracing a Digest of the History, Organization and Growth of the Grand Army of the Republic, Ladies of the Grand Army, Woman's Relief Corps and Loyal Legion In the preparation of this Roster, much credit is due General W. W. Ferguson, Commander of the Department of Colorado and Wyoming, and also Col. T. J. Foote, Assistant Adjutant General, who have devoted much time and work in collecting data for this Roster. To Col. J. Henry Holcolmb, Custodian of Records, Headquarters Grand Army of the Republic, Philadelphia, we are indebted for copies of General orders, establishing this Department. Col. James C. Veatch and Col. Ezra B. Gregg, formerly of Lincoln Post No. 4, both of whom now reside in Washington, D. C., have also rendered valuable service in searching the records in the Capital City, obtaining the most authentic history of the Grand Army of the Republic to be found in print. Much time and money has been spent in collecting reliable data, and it is believed the best that has been written by recognized authorities in G. A. R. circles has been codified into this history in a manner that will meet with your approval. Mrs. Ruth E. Foote, Denver, Past National President of the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic, has kindly furnished a brief synopsis of the organization and growth of that Order. Mrs. Lucy B. Capron for many years a resident of Denver, but now residing in Chicago, one of the brightest members of the Woman's Relief Corps of this Department, has supplied a valuable History of its origin and growth. This Roster is the outgrowth of my Corps Badge Calendar published in 1905 and 1907, and distributed to Comrades attending the National Encampments at Denver and Minneapolis. The price of this Roster is the same as that asked for my calendar, viz: one copy free to every member of the Grand Army of the Republic who is identified with any Post in the Department of Colorado and Wyoming, whose name appears in this Roster. Extra copies will be furnished while they last, at $1.00 per copy, cash to accompany the order. It has been the aim in its preparation to present to you a Roster and history of sufficient interest to cause you to retain and not destroy or cast it aside.
