“The Sons
of Union Veterans of the Civil War is a fraternal organization dedicated to
preserving the history and legacy of heroes who fought and worked to save the
Union.”
As part
of the Major General Thomas H. Ruger Camp #1 commitment to meet this mission
of the SUVCW, we have established this section to honor all those Union Veterans
with direct linage to the Brothers of Major General Thomas H. Ruger Camp #1.
The Camp Commander,
Officers and Staff of the Department of North Carolina and Ruger Camp #1
encourage all Brothers to participate in honoring our Civil War ancestors.
Those
Brothers wishing to honor their American Civil War descendants may submit a
biography to the Ruger Camp #1 Signals Officer.
There are no established restrictions or rules on submitting an ancestral biography. Please review all current biographies posted on the website. They reflect the basic presentation for future contributions.
The biographies can be submitted via email as attachments, or by use of a
UBS Flash/Thumb Drive. All text should be Microsoft Word documents, or
equivalent formats. Images are encouraged and may be included in the submitted
document or provided as a separate attachment/file.
Submission Guidelines:
For consistency in appearance and
layout, the Signals Officer may change formatting, fonts, punctuation and image
locations. Spelling corrections or grammatical errors will be made based on
common rules of grammar, sentence structure and usage. These postings are
intended for reading by the general public and may not represent a truly
scholarly approach or presentation.
Other than as described above;
the Signals Officer will not change the essential content of
the biography, its historical details or family lineage. Before publishing, the
Signals Officer may, at his discretion, contact the contributor concerning
any significant changes being considered to the as submitted
biography. However, minor modifications will not require approval prior to
publication.
If after the publishing on the
Major General Thomas H. Ruger Camp #1 website, the contributor wishes or add,
edit for correct any portions of the biography, the Signals Office welcomes
being contacted concerning such changes or modifications. All reasonable
requests for change will be made. Changes will be implemented based on the
Signals Officer's availability at the time of request.
