Résumé du livre
This collection consists of the January to October 1863 minutes recorded in a minutes book of the Democratic Club of Cross Creek Township based in Washington County, Pennsylvania. Minutes were signed by the elected club secretaries including J.M.K. Reed, A.E. Walker, William Wallace Jackson, and James L. Robertson; and by elected club presidents, William C. Jackson, William Reed, John N. Walker, Aaron Bebout, and William C. Marquis. Meeting minutes detail internal club affairs, plans for processions, and appropriations for Party banners, music, and flags. Entries indicate the club's pro-slavery stance (January 31, 1863) and its support for George B. McClellan's presidential candidacy.
