The United Confederate Veterans, or UCV, was a veteran's organization
for former Confederate Soldiers in the Civil War, and equivalent
to the Grand Army of the Republic,
or GAR, the Union veterans organization. In 1896, the Sons of Confederate Veterans were formed to be
the successor to the UCV in preserving the memory of the Confederate
soldier.
Locally, The Greene County Archives and Records
Center owns the minutes for the Campbell Camp No. 488, UCV,
from 1904 to 1918. In addition, the MSU
Library and the Wilson's Creek
National Battlefield Library own collections of Confederate
Veteran Magazine, the official periodical of the United Confederate
Veterans.
