Dennis Northcott has ably demonstrated the importance of record interdependence in order to retrieve the most biographical information. His series of death rolls of the Grand Army of the Republic has proven its merit as a national resource tool. This volume treats the records of 36,000 ex-veterans who died in Iowa, Kansas, and Nebraska between 1883 and 1948. Clearly many of these veterans died prior to the existence of death records so these records may be the only record of such events. Grave markers of Union Civil War often lack dates of death so these death rolls provide positive identification of their units of service. In addition, veterans who served under aliases can be placed in their proper military units. For those veterans who died between the federal censuses of 1880 and 1900 at unknown localities, these death rolls identify the local post in which the ex-veteran held membership thereby allowing the exploration of other records of the same locality. The data have been presented in as succinct a manner as possible. Northcott in appendix D enumerates the names of the deceased who have obituaries extant at the local post level. The compiler has conducted thorough investigations of the holdings of research libraries to insure that all of the annual reports of the G.A.R. have been included. 658 pages. Names include: Bagley, Etchison, Haines, Laughlin, Pomeroy, Silcott,
