Author's Note: The piece doesn’t include are those who were in the Oregon First Infantry or the Oregon First Cavalry during the war, even though they were later eligible for G.A.R. membership (and some were members). That’s because they replaced regulars when the war broke out and fought Indians, not Confederates. Thus, they were Indian war veterans, not Civil War veterans per se. Put another way, they served during the Civil War but didn’t fight in the Civil War. I did another piece on them
