Fold3

Fold3 The web's premier collection of original military records.
(562)

Fold3 provides convenient access to US military records, including the stories, photos, and personal documents of the men and women who served. The Fold3 name comes from a traditional flag folding ceremony in which the third fold is made in honor and remembrance of veterans who served in defense of their country and to maintain peace throughout the world. Original records at Fold3 help you discover and share stories about these everyday heroes, forgotten soldiers, and the families that supported them. On Fold3, you can combine records found on the site with what you have in your own albums and shoeboxes to create an online memorial for someone who served.

John C. Fremont was a renowned American West explorer before the Civil War, but his Union career was brief and tumultuous. As a prominent Union general in Missouri, he declared martial law and freed slaves in November 1861—without President Lincoln's approval. When Lincoln ordered him to revoke the controversial decree (fearing it would drive Missouri into the Confederacy), Fremont refused. Lincoln's response? He summarily relieved Fremont of his command for insubordination. https://f3.social/6yba
