1891 G.A.R. "Personal War Sketches" Book Restored

Miles-Humes Historical House museum volunteer, and family friend, Joyce Adgate and I are shown here displaying a recently restored 1891 Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) “Personal War Sketches” book by Bellefonte, Pennsylvania’s old G.A.R. Gregg Post No. 95. The book contains many interesting Civil War soldier bios, including one for 148th P.V.I.’s Colonel James Beaver, as well as other members of that Regiment. 
 
The binding had been broken, and the book in need of repair, when discovered by 148th and 125th P.V.I. re-enactor groups during the February 2016 “Centre County Reads” program for Karen Abbott’s book, “Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy.”
 
Members of the Colonel James E. Crowther Camp #89 Sons of Union Veterans donated time and money to have the book repaired at Wert Bookbinding in Grantville, PA.
 
The book is now on display at the Miles-Hume Historical House in Bellefonte, PA.  All are encouraged to visit the museum’s PA History Room to enjoy this and other beautiful pieces of our local history!
 
Thank You,
 
Duane Harer
