“Crazy
Quilt: Made in Blanchester, Ohio by
The Women’s Relief Corp of the Grand
Army of the Republic 1893-1894.”
This book is a significant, comprehensive
companion to an authentic, Crazy Quilt
dated 1893-1894. It carries the names
of Civil War veterans of the Grand
Army of the Republic (GAR) who lived
with their families in or near Blanchester,
Ohio during and/or after the war.
To our knowledge, this quilt with
its companion book, is the only one
of its kind in existence today that
has as its subject Civil War veterans
from this area of Ohio. This book
should be of special interest to descendants
of Civil War veterans who fought in
the GAR from Clermont, Clinton and
Warren Counties, and their friends
and neighbors, as well as local veterans
groups, school children, and their
teachers. Also, the book has significance
to genealogists, historians, and members
of quilt guilds from across the nation
and from around the world, who have
family ties to Southern Ohio. Color
pictures of quilt. 39 8 ½” x 11" pages.
