Biographical/Historical:     The Camp Tom Moore Chapter of the United Confederate Veterans organized in Apalachicola, Florida, in 1895 as a memorial group to honor Confederate veterans. In 1889, several of the local and regional groups in the South united to form the United Confederate Veterans Association. This organization, also known as the UCV, formed as a benevolent, historical, social, and literary association. The primary functions of the UCV were to provide for widows and orphans of former Confederate soldiers, preserve mementos and relics, preserve a record of the service of its members, care for disabled former soldiers, and organize reunions and fraternal gatherings.
Summary:     This collection contains a minute book of the Camp Tom Moore (No. 556) of the United Confederate Veterans in Apalachicola, Florida.
