CLUB THEATER BUILDING, JOPLIN, In which the Reunion Convention was held
-
APPENDIX.
In formulating the plans for publishing the proceedings of the Reunion at Joplin, I took into consideration the fact that, in the order of Divine Provi- dence, in a few years the organization of the "United Confederate Veterans" must cease to exist; and that the "United Sons of Confederate Veterans" would become the custodian of its records and property, to perpetuate the personal war records of those who fought and those who died for the cause most sacred, I concluded to print its Constitution in this Appendix. And, in order to show the objects and purposes of the "United Daughters of the Confederacy," being a kindred organization, its Constitution is also printed.
I have followed these with reliable historical data obtained from the records of the War Department at Washington, and from other reliable sources, principally from the interesting and valuable "Confederate Hand- Book," published by Col. Robert C. Wood, of New Orleans. It is hoped that the matter thus collected and printed will make this report of such interest and value as to cause it to be preserved by the Veteran and his descendants.
Being unable to secure the rosters of all the camps in the State, after making extra effort to obtain them for publication in this report (having re- ceived but few), I have concluded to print only that of "Jasper County Camp," our hosts, whose members made the reunion a pronounced success.
