The Union Veterans Union has just published a new brochure on a brief history of the Grand Army at Sacramento's Historic City Cemetery. The cemetery was the traditional gathering spot of the GAR for Memorial Day. The brochure is part of a fund raising effort by the UVU to place new historical markers at all three GAR plots in the City Cemetery and to replace several Civil War Trees at Plot #3 that either died or were destroyed by vandals. The brochure is available for a $5 donation. Send a long, self addressed stamped envelope to Union Veterans Union P.O. Box 331 Fair Oaks, CA 95628. Checks should be made payable to Robert Bundy, Treasurer.
Another new brochure on the Civil War Trees Memorial is also available for a donation.
