This is a great looking piece of history from the Grand Army of the Republic. The Grand Army of the Republic or G.A.R. was the organization made up of Union Survivors of the Civil War. They held reunions and erected monuments to the men that fought for the north during the Civil War. This ribbon was to commemorate the 53rd Anniversary Reunion of the 3rd Michigan Cavalry in Detroit September 1-2, 1914. It has a celluloid of J.W. Fitzgerald, on the back of the celluloid it shows Made In St. Louis from the St. Louis Button Company. The top bar has the 3rd Mich. Cavalry, which was organized at Grand Rapids, Michigan, between August 24 and November 28, 1861. Private James H. Robinson of Company B would later be awarded the Medal of Honor for his bravery at a fight at Brownsville, Arkansas, on January 27, 1864. The regiment was mustered out of service on March 15, 1866. The original pin is on the reverse of the bar. The ribbon displays well with some fraying and wear. This is an excellent ribbon for any collection.
