AI notes: The Veteran's Advocate, published in Concord, New Hampshire, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, served as a vital platform for Civil War veterans, particularly those affiliated with the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.). The newspaper provided a forum for former Union soldiers to share personal recollections of the war, discuss veterans’ pensions and benefits, and promote the social and political interests of their community. Beyond reporting on military reunions and commemorative events, it also fostered camaraderie among veterans and reinforced their ongoing influence in civic life. While complete archives of the paper are scarce, historical records show that it played a significant role in shaping public memory of the Civil War in New Hampshire, highlighting both the sacrifices of soldiers and the continued advocacy for their rights long after the conflict ended.
